Award-winning actress Mira Sorvino is learning from her "mistakes" as she competes on "Dancing with the Stars" season 32.
Sorvino, 56, admitted that she’s faced several challenges since entering the dance competition and aims to overcome a few "learning curves" during her time on the show.
"I think it's been a long time since I've thought of myself as, like, sexy," Sorvino told Fox News Digital on the "Dancing with the Stars" red carpet, Tuesday.

"We don’t think of ourselves that way when we enter… the motherhood phase. And maybe that's a mistake… we should always embrace our sexuality, but… I'm not… living in that at the moment."
The mom-of-four continued to say that has been her biggest "challenge" as she attempts to "re-access that confidence" so she can "sell this sexy number."

Mira, the daughter of the late "Goodfellas" actor Paul Sorvino, added that she hopes her dancing inspires the "moms of America."
"All of us moms… we trade that young single person who is kind of confident in her sensuality… to being like the mothering person, the caretaker, the loving person who's there, but not the person who… shines in her own sexy light."
