When asked by the publication about her possible plans to have children, she responded: 'Naomi on having kids: 'Not yet—I’ll see what the universe brings me.'

Naomi also spoke about her living the single life, after years of dating a number of high-profile men.

'Being alone doesn’t mean you are lonely,' she said. 'I don’t have time to be bored, and I don’t have time to be lonely.'

Referring to one actor she dated in the early 1990s, she added: 'For me, privacy is important to know each other, and I always worry that my job will not allow that. But I have ways. I was taught that by Robert De Niro.' 

Speaking on her battle with substance and alcohol abuse. she said: 'I’m a survivor,' Naomi declared. 'I don’t have a squeaky-clean life, and I don’t pretend to. I was the first to say that I was an addict, and I’m so grateful to God to be a recovering addict and a recovering alcoholic.'
