Lisa Bonet`s return to television in a recurring role on the ABC cop drama Life on Mars wasn`t easy for the press-shy actress.

"To have my face reinstated in minds and homes once a week was an intense decision," says the star, who achieved fame early in life on the hit Cosby Show.

The paparazzi`s interest her family has been one of the downsides to being back in the public eye. Bonet, 41, has a 16-month-old daughter Lola with boyfriend, actor Jason Momoa (Stargate Atlantis), and is expecting their second child in January.

"It feels like you`re being stalked," she says. "As a shy person, that type of attention coming at me violates something. I don`t like that it`s expected to come with the territory."

Bonet does have a lighthearted complaint about some other media attention. She`d like to debunk the widespread rumor that she also has a son. "I don`t have three children already," she says. "I always hear that I do … Apparently, there`s some young child locked in a basement," she quips. "I don`t dwell on that stuff, but that comes to mind.”

Motherhood is definitely a priority for Bonet, who describes herself as "a hands-on mom."

"A parent`s hope is to pass on wisdom so they don`t repeat the same mistakes you did," she says. "You want a better life for them."

As for why she decided to sign on for a the new role, despite some reservations about the attention she`d be getting, she says, "You know, I guess it all has to do with the stars lining up and it being the right time and the right project.`

A happy love life also helped. "Having a mate has given me that feeling of safety," she adds.
