My mother is a realist, and she’s had biological and adoptive children, and she said it’s no different: No matter what, they’re putting a stranger into your arms. You don’t know them yet.

KATHERINE HEIGLIt’s lame to say that I’m a normal girl, but I think I am.
KATHERINE HEIGLIf I have to be focused and watch what I say, then I have to be comfortable.
KATHERINE HEIGLI like predictability because I know what I’m getting into.
KATHERINE HEIGLI have my moments, but generally speaking I shy away from being too lovey dovey.
KATHERINE HEIGLIsn’t it so weird the day you wake up and you’re just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

KATHERINE HEIGLHollywood likes to label everyone so you’re easier to identify.
KATHERINE HEIGLI always assume I look better than I actually do. I’ll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I’ll see a picture and think, ‘Crap, I had no idea that’s what I was looking like.’
