In an interview with the April edition of Elle magazine, Holmes said: "Children are exposed to so much more than we were, I suppose every generation goes through that feeling, 'Oh my God, it's so different from how I grew up'.

"I think the basics are very important: the number one thing is making sure my child feels loved. And good about herself. And that what she does and who she is, is special and important, and should be celebrated. And my mum always said, 'No-one loves you like your mother'."

Holmes, who is divorced from Mission Impossible actor Tom Cruise, also spoke about the innocence of Dawson's Creek, which she starred in as Joey Potter, in comparison to shows such as Girls and Skins.

"The world has changed so much since then. Social media, and what people are watching. But I think innocence was one of the draws of the show.

"It was these kids going through first love and heartbreak and growing up and friendships changing. So I'm glad that the innocence still holds up."

Speaking about feminism, Holmes added that she could "identify with women".

"I identify with people who work really hard. I think... I love strong women and I love strong men and I love being inspired by people who fight for what they believe in and work hard and are creative," continued Holmes. "And have integrity. I don't think [the word feminism] is problematic."
