Katie Holmes

When I was a little girl - if I could have - I would have gone a year without washing my hair. I hated it, to the point where my sisters had to pay me to wash my hair. I think, after experiencing that, I like to wash it every day.

I'm not the easiest person to live with. I'm kind of a slob.

I found it to be more challenging to be in a huge effects movie, because a lot of the things aren't there. You have to trust the director and react to nothing.

I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there's nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed.

This business is so unstable, and you never really know where you're going to be.

I don't always take off my make-up before bed, and I like pizza at two in the morning.

I work very hard, but I also really enjoy time with my family as well. So I take everything as it comes, but I really am very selfish about my family time.

As a teenager, skincare is about putting no oil on your skin because you don't want any blemishes, and then in your thirties, you're putting as much oil as it can take to avoid wrinkles!

I like doing yoga; I like running and cycling - just staying active. And I love a facial.

I went with a pixie cut when my daughter was really young. It was easy - I mean, it was really easy. But I missed my long hair. Especially after a long winter, all I want is sexy summer hair.

I'll do my makeup in the car sometimes.

My schedule is pretty busy, so I've learned to do my makeup quickly because I prefer to sleep.

I think I want to pursue a movie career and maybe even pursue some theatre.

With age, I've gained confidence.

I still feel like a girl. I don't quite feel like a woman. I'll probably be 90 and feel like, 'Not a woman yet!'

Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn.

Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience - in an instant, you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it's the most important job in the world.

I just look for characters I can relate to.

I have three sisters. I went to an all-girls academy.

I went to a local modeling school when I was about 10 and learned to walk the runway.

I do like to buy my own clothes because I like to support designers. I know the work that goes into it.

I'm learning every day, and I have been since the minute I became a mom.

I don't over-gift. I don't inundate my child with a lot of things.

We're trying to raise good humans, and some days, we're better at it than others. You don't always get treats.

In North Carolina nobody bothers us; we're all about concentrating on the work or our auditions that we're trying to get a flight out for. So all that crap is not something that I'm confronted with on a daily basis.
