The 33-year-old actress - who is in a relationship with her 'On the Road' co-star Garrett Hedlund - is ready to have a baby but wants to wait just a little bit longer.

She told Net-A-Porter's digital magazine The EDIT: "I want to continue acting, but I also want to have kids. I think I'll be ready to have them in two years or something."

Kirsten's first major film success can when she was just 12 years old when she starred in 'Interview with the Vampire' with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

After spending so much of her life in the acting business Kirsten has got far more relaxed about her work and doesn't worry about the next job.

The 'Fargo' star said: "When I was younger, I actually felt anxious when I wasn't working. Then there was a moment where I was kind of sick of (acting). But then it shifted for me and I re-loved it in a different way.

"I feel much more confident in myself (now), in life ... I don't stress as much now. I've grown more sensitive though. The older I get, the more sensitive I've become. I don't know why. I think it's that age where death is more around you ... I appreciate things more. I mean, I've always been very grateful, but I feel far more grounded than I did 10 years ago. "I want to be able to do good work and I think the more that you're out there, it starts to take away from your artistry. I don't want to be a movie star who needs to live behind a big cape because I'm so in the public eye all the time."
