Seeing Joan Cusack tonight, Toy Story fans remembered they knew her.
Although the voice actress for Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl stepped away from Hollywood in the last few years, she is back in the spotlight for the upcoming Pixar film—and she’s sharing why she ever went away.
“Being on the carpet is just kind of one part of Hollywood,” Cusack explained in an exclusive E! News interview at the film’s Los Angeles premiere. “They don’t always have carpets for TV shows and all kinds of other things, so I just haven’t been in a movie this big in a long time.”
However, the School of Rock actress—who shares sons Dylan, 28, and Miles, 25, with husband Richard Burke—admitted that it was somewhat intentional to maintain her privacy.
“I’ve got to say, I did at a certain point say wait a second, I really want to make a priority of being in Chicago where I live and raising my kids,” she explained. “This is what I’ve been doing for 10 years.”
