Katherine Heigl

I think a lot of women innately know how to play their hand. I'm not a big one for the rules.

When I do get pregnant, I highly doubt I'll be one of those women who don't look pregnant from behind - I'll be that chick who looks pregnant from her ankles up!

As women, we have more of a tendency to be people-pleasers, and I know a lot of women who are not vocal about what makes them happy.

My mother is a great source of advice and wisdom and consolation for me.

I still love the theology of the Mormon religion and think it is a wonderful way to grow up.

I can't cultivate a relationship with my child if it's between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized, 'This is not going to work.' It will work some of the year, but not 12 months a year.

I'm not out burning bras, but I'm very opinionated about women owning their power.

I'm terrible with patience.

Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

Marriage is actually really terrifying. It doesn't work for many people.

I'm too lazy and I like food and I like my free time too much to spend it working out!

I want my family to resemble the family I came from.

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better, and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life, right?

I'm terrible with my workout regime and following it strictly. I'm terrible with a healthy diet and following it strictly. I'm terrible on the weekends about getting up at reasonable hours and all of those things. But, when it comes to my work and the discipline it takes to get to work on time - I hate unprofessionalism.

I'm a sappy mom now. I didn't think I would be. I thought I'd be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

I do like change. That's the one thing exciting about me.

Kids are a huge sacrifice they change everything - but I'm ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o'clock at night.

My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know.

I'm really proud of myself because I've pared my beauty regimen down to a cream blush and berry-tinted lip balm, which has saved me so much time.
