Nashville star Hayden Panettiere shows off her tanned and toned a body in the latest  issue of Glamour magazine. The 23-year-old Nashville star who is rumored to be engaged to Wladimir Klitschko sat down with the magazine to dish about marriage, motherhood and family.

“I don’t really have a plan. I’ve lived a very big life, and I don’t feel my age,” Panettiere says about marriage, without confirming her engagement. But about motherhood she sings a different tune: “I feel like I was born to be a mother. Sometimes people speak about [having kids] like, ‘Your life ends—you’re never going to be able to do anything again!’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?'”

She elaborates, “Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing. There’s nothing I feel like I can’t accomplish while having children.”

Now, on a different subject, Hayden who plays conniving and troubled country singer Juliette Barnes on Nashville calls her generation of young Hollywood the “Messy Generation, the generation of the disaster child.” And although she herself has stayed out of trouble, she does not consider herself a role model either.

“I never put my name in the ballot box and said, ‘Hey, I want you to vote me as your teen leader and icon and your Miss Perfect.’

“I will never be perfect. That’s just unrealistic. You’re unexpectedly put in a position of becoming a role model; that’s not something you choose.

“I will never try or pretend to be perfect.”

How did Hayden avoid the pitfalls haunting some of young Hollywood’s finest? She credits her protective parents who helped her stay safe and grounded. “It’s not that I didn’t go to clubs, have my picture taken. I was 16 years old. I was experimenting just like any kid. But I had friends and family around me to yank me back when I was heading in the wrong direction… The thing that really saved me was that I still had that healthy fear of my parents—I still had a midnight curfew at 18!”
