(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Sharon Stone has joked she "never pees alone" now she has children.

The 54-year-old actress has three adopted sons and enjoys being a mother. She knew having children would be an enriching experience but wasn't prepared for the effect it would have on other areas of her life.

"For 12 years I have been a mom now - that completely changed my life," she told a German magazine.

"You never pee alone - with three boys there is never peace and quiet!"

Sharon remains best known for her raunchy role in 1992 movie Basic Instinct. The film was about a beautiful and sexy woman who was linked to a murder and Sharon enjoyed making it, although it led to her being typecast.

She now looks for totally different roles which challenge her.

"After that I was only casted as the 'hot girl' which was annoying. It is boring if you only have to play sexy and wear high heels. I've never felt comfortable with these parts," she explained. (C) Cover Media
