"Before her son Cyrus&amp;apos; birth on December 2012, Claire Danes had no idea how difficult -- and rewarding -- being a working mother would be. Speaking to Us Weekly at The CW, CBS and Showtime&amp;apos;s Summer TCA Party in L.A. on Monday, July 30, the Homeland actress said she&amp;apos;s still &amp;quot;figuring out&amp;quot; how to balance her career with motherhood.\r\n&amp;quot;I was in my cozy mommy bubble. I was anxious about returning to work. I had all sorts of exaggerated fears, I think the biggest one being, &amp;apos;Oh god, will I ever want to work again?&amp;apos; And in fact, I do, and it&amp;apos;s been great,&amp;quot; said the star, who&amp;apos;s been married to actor Hugh Dancy since 2009. &amp;quot;But the material is very, very dark and it&amp;apos;s so nice to come home and be jarred out of that state by this buoyant butterball.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nDanes, 34, often brings her 7-month-old son to set. &amp;quot;Lesli Linka, our director, will hold him and direct,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s literally bobbing him and saying, &amp;apos;Action!&amp;apos; It&amp;apos;s very cool.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe first-time parents take turns being their son&amp;apos;s primary caretaker. Soon, Danes will travel to Toronto, where her husband is shooting NBC&amp;apos;s Hannibal. &amp;quot;It will be my turn to be the one holding down the domestic fort,&amp;quot; she told Us. &amp;quot;We feel so fortunate that we get to work in tandem. There&amp;apos;s like a month overlap, but basically it&amp;apos;s his turn, my turn.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIf she&amp;apos;s able, Danes will also be catching up on other TV shows. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m too busy making other TV to watch enough of it, but a lot of shows I&amp;apos;m very curious about,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I tried to watch House of Cards while I was feeding Cyrus, but it just was not going to happen. He got very distracted and wanted to eat, so I was like, &amp;apos;Fine!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; The New York-based star said she hopes to watch another Netflix original series, Orange Is the New Black -- as well as some reality TV. &amp;quot;I do watch Bravo occasionally,&amp;quot; she revealed,&amp;quot; but I really don&amp;apos;t have time.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
