LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jamie Lee Curtis is a devoted mother and is committed to the well-being of her children. The Oscar winner recently released her graphic novel ‘Mother Nature’ and was interviewed by ‘Morning Joe’ co-host Joe Scarborough where she talked about diverse issues our society faces.

"This life is about love. Being a parent is about love and I love Ruby. Love her. People have said, 'You're so great to accept her love.' What are you talking about? This is my daughter, this human being has come to me and said, 'This is who I am,'" she said. Curtis shares two daughters Ruby and Annie, 34, with her husband Christopher Guest, 75.

What makes Jamie Lee Curtis a trans warrior?

Jamie Lee Curtis, in the same interview, talked in detail about being a parent to a trans daughter and said that it is her responsibility to ‘fight and defend’ against transphobia. "And my job is to say, 'Welcome home.' I will fight and defend her right to exist to anyone who claims that she doesn't. And there are those people," the 64-year-old said on the show.

Referring to her trans daughter Ruby, Curtis told People in 2021 what she learned from her daughter. "It's speaking a new language. It's learning new terminology and words. I am new at it. I am not someone who is pretending to know much about it. And I'm going to blow it, I'm going to make mistakes. I would like to try to avoid making big mistakes," she said. The ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ actress continued, "You slow your speech down a little. You become a little more mindful about what you're saying. How you're saying it. You still mess up, I've messed up today twice. We're human."

'Sobriety simply just made it all crystal clear'

Talking about her recent appearance on the Hulu series ‘The Bear’ as Donna Persada where the character struggles with addiction, something the star has experienced too briefly in the past, Curtis said, "I am incredibly lucky that wasn't my path. I was headed there...And if fentanyl was as easily available as it is today on the street, I'd be dead. Sobriety simply just made it all crystal clear."

She added, "Obviously, I'm trying to learn the most important thing is that I don't know everything. And I wake up every day sober, saying, 'I don't know everything. I don't know a lot. There are a lot of things I don't know about. And there's a lot of this that I need to learn.'"
