COOKIE magazine - August 2008 : Amanda Peet
COOKIE magazine’s August 2008 issue has Amanda Peet on the cover with her daughter. Peet talks about the very controversial hot-button topic of child vaccinations. Many celebrities have come out against these vaccines (Holly Robinson Peete, Jenny McCarthy, etc.) and Peet is very much the opposite in support of them.

Peet says on parents of unvaccinated children… “Frankly, I feel that parents who do not vaccinate their children are parasites.”

The issue goes on stands on July 15th. Following are some of the comments from Amanda Peet’s interview:

On the effects her work has on her daughter… “I still feel desperately sad when I don’t win a role. When you’re able to identify your passions, then your child will be able to identify hers. It’s a great template.”

On the surprises of motherhood… “One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have. I thought it would be an extended, blissful romance with me at the helm, cuddling this little creature to life.” She adds, “It’s been bittersweet and humbling to let her lead, and to try not to be perfect myself.
