The 40-year-old actress - who has children Olive, two, and Frankie, 15 months, with husband Will Kopelman - has taken time out from Hollywood to focus on motherhood and her Flower beauty and accessories business and doesn't know when she'll go back.

She told E! Online: "I love movies but the hours right now for where my kids are in their life, it's few and far between that I'll work."

She added that she has turned down "a lot" of TV and acting work.

Drew loves Flower because it allows her more freedom to spend quality time with her children while being fulfilled at work.

She said: "Flower has changed my life because it lets me be a mom the way I want to be and I still get to do something meaningful and think about girls and women and empowering messages."

Drew previously admitted she isn't quite sure if she wants to add to her family but insisted she needs to decide soon as she is "no spring chicken".

She said: "I think I'm good right now, but I don't know.

"The door's open, but I'm no spring chicken. I have to figure it out sooner or later."
