The actress went on about the gift she received since having a child and how it's made such a great impact.
"The gift of motherhood is the selflessness that it introduces you to, and I think that's really freeing," she said. And in terms of being a storyteller, I think it allows you to put yourself in other peoples' shoes...the empathy that it slugs you with, being a mother. And I think it makes you a better storyteller."
Wilde added more details on how she views the world since having a child.
"I guess I just take my place in the world a little bit more seriously being a mother...I hope I can tell stories that somehow benefit the world that Otis will grow up in," she said.
The actress is currently engaged to Horrible Bosses star Jason Sudeikis. When asked if they were getting any sleep lately, Wilde said, "We're getting there."
