Mira Sorvino - © Scott Alan / PhotorazziThe Oscar winning actress says juggling her career and looking after her children makes her feel so guilty it "kills" her.Mira told People magazine: "I hate it. I feel so guilty because my kids cry so hard when I go to work. "I know there are millions and millions of working women out in the world who face this same dilemma, but it just kind of kills me, and I don't know what to do about it."Mira, 39, and her actor husband Christopher Backus, have two children - Mattea Angel, two and 11-month-old Johnny.Mira recently had the inside of her trailer made "kid-friendly" so her children could join her while filming. She said: "I've tried to make it as much fun for them as possible on the set. I got all these things to make the trailer as fun and club-housey as possible. "I made a tent with fabric, bought a beanbag chair and put together an art table where my daughter could paint. But days on the set are a minimum of 12 hours and that's hard for them."Keen animal rights activist Mira confessed she would love to give up working and focus on being a full-time mother if she could afford to. She said: "I'd love it if I was independently wealthy and could stop acting and just focus on being a mom and activism."(C) BANG Media International
