Finding time between family vids and big budget flicks, 46 year-old Mrs. Ashton Kutcher has top billing in the new comedy Happy Tears, about a woman trying to raise kids while caring for her insane dad (played hilariously by Rip Torn).
"I look at it as, always family is first," Demi tells press. "Because that's what you have at the end of your life. And your work is just what you get to do, which is a real gift."
Like risking your career on a low-budget film?
"I think every project that you step into has an element of risk," Demi admits.
"Independent really is no riskier than a studio film."
"Happy Tears" premiered on Wednesday at the Berlin Film Festival.
