Buckley & Sorensen Live A Private Life
According to Buckley, she and Sorensen live a very quiet, normal life at home with their daughter.
“I have tracksuit pants that are eaten by moths to within an inch of their life,” she told Deadline on Feb. 16. “I have a bath that’s old. I light fires. We don’t have a TV. I cook. I just do the simplest things and I need to step off. I need to step out.”
“I’m not method. I definitely like to very gently stir the soup,” she continued, adding, “Everybody has a method of some sort, but I just like to simmer in it, but also be human and be with my husband, be with my daughter, cook, not care. I don’t think I could sustain where I like to go in my work if I didn’t have someplace to come back and just be absolutely human.”
