“You’ve got to keep going,” she told the mag. “In every part of your life. Focus on the positive. Stay creative. Go to things that interest you. Do work that’s fulfilling. Challenge yourself. What’s amazing about the human spirit, there are so many people doing inspiring things. If you focus on that, it makes your life richer.”

Being a single-mom doesn’t stop her from doing what she loves, the Ray Donovan actress has been branching out professionally, according to Us Weekly, she played a bipolar character in 2015’s Touched With Fire and portraying Jackie Kennedy for a second time in The Kennedys: After Camelot.

“I feel more creative,” she admitted. “I feel ready … When I was a young actor, things happened quickly. My second job was Dawson’s Creek, and suddenly I was known. I was 18 years old; I had no life experience. I felt, ‘I don’t have anything to bring. I don’t know what it’s like to be, say, really angry. I’m doing the best I can.’ But with age I’ve gained confidence.”

Is Katie Holmes Getting Married?

When asked about her dating life, the actress admits that she’s not quite advanced. Meanwhile, she’s been reportedly dating Jamie Foxx for years but has always remained private about her love life after split with former husband Cruise.

“That’s not something I want to answer … [I don’t] have a five or 10-year plan,” she said of dating. “I feel like I’m still a teenager in a lot of ways. I do a lot of things I did then. I paint, I color. I cook sometimes. I still feel like a girl. I don’t quite feel like a woman, maybe because I’m the baby of my family. I’ll probably be 90 and feel like, ‘Not a woman yet!’ Ha!”

According to More, Holmes has been in the spotlight for 20 years, then as the wife of Tom Cruise. Every moment in their relationship made headlines, from their courtship (he jumped on Oprah’s couch!) and 2006 wedding (in an Italian castle!) through the birth of their daughter, Suri, 9, and their divorce in July 2012. Holmes doesn’t discuss that part of her life. She’s made a new one, and it is humming along.
