Whether you consider Chelsea Handler funny or not, you have to give it to her for always being honest, straight up no matter the topic she’s discussing.

In a recent interview with her good friend Amanda de Cadenet, Handler explains why she doesn’t want to have children.

“I definitely don’t want to have kids. I don’t think I’d be a great mother. I don’t want to have a kid and have it raised by a nanny. I don’t have the time to raise a child,” Handler says.

She’s just as determined not to marry, saying that she’s not cut out for family life.

“Childhood was heartbreaking enough for anybody. I don’t know that I could handle my own child, especially if I had a girl, going through what I went through growing up. Not that it was so traumatic, but in many ways, it was in your own way,” Handler adds of her decision not to become a mother.

In the same interview, she also talks about having a career in late-night television, how she realized she wanted to do comedy, and whether she sacrificed her feminine side to be successful in the industry.
