“I’ve been working my entire life,” said the Emmy Award winner.

She continued, “When I had kids, and it was right after Robin passed away, there was just so much going on in my life and I just said, ‘I need to take a break’.”

The Scooby Doo actress called the late actor her “dream father” and “Uncle Robin” to her children. His death prompted her to  “hit pause on my career and focus on family”.

“I need to be here for these early formative years of my kids’ life. I needed that break to be the parent that I wanted to be,” asserted All My Children alum.

Sarah returned to acting as her children grew older because she missed it.

“I started to really miss it. But it’s also finding the right opportunity, something that speaks to you that also speaks to your audience,” added the actress.

Sarah will next appear in the upcoming drama Wolf Pack.
