Natalie Portman courageously admits that she needs some advice when it comes to dealing with motherhood.

The 34 year old actress revealed on the Harper's Bazaar that she asked Cate Blanchett for advice about handling motherhood.

She told the Magazine, which will be released on the newsstands on August, "How do you do it? You're a mom. You're the best at what you do." She said, "You just do. Stressing about it doesn't help."'

The 'Star Wars' icon has been married to director Benjamin Millepied. Their son Aleph is already four years old.

The 'Black Swan' star believes that the same as her struggle, men also deal with the same matter. She said, "Most men I know are dealing with the same issues."

Portman also thinks that men should be open about it and should ask the same question to their fellow men.

"They say they feel like if they work too hard they won't have enough time with their families. Maybe those questions need to be asked of men, too. Maybe the men need better questions," she added.

Portman also shared in The New York native that she is happy living Paris along with her husband.

The "Thor" star even describes her current life "magical."

"But the cultures are different in ways you don't even realize. And there's stuff you don't know you'll miss until you're away. Like indoor gyms where kids can just run around and jump. They don't have those there."

"In Paris if you're running around on the playground chasing your kid and playing a game, people think you're nuts," she added.

Portman also expressed her thought about gender inequality.

She said, "I like to look at what people are wearing, but I do see the sexism in it.

"Yeah, you could reject it all, but I don't know anyone who has done that and been able to maintain the level of work that I'd like to maintain." She added. The Harvard graduate also said that she is proud of her Israeli roots."

"If you say, "I'm from Sweden," everyone says, "Cool." Then when you say, "I'm from Israel!" everyone wants to have a 10-hour political conversation."

"Everyone has a very strong, very passionate opinion about it. But I'm grateful for it. I had so many friends who asked, when we were younger, "Who am I? What's my identity?" I never questioned my identity."
