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 HEIGLMy 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 HEIGLI just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.
KATHERINE HEIGLMy worst habit used to be smoking but I quit.
KATHERINE HEIGLI 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.
KATHERINE HEIGLI’m too lazy and I like food and I like my free time too much to spend it working out!
KATHERINE HEIGLI never would rule out a great character or a great story. I don’t care what the forum is. If I get to tell a story that I’m excited about, I’m in.
KATHERINE HEIGLI’ve created a chaotic life, and then I get on edge because of it.
KATHERINE HEIGLMarriage is actually really terrifying. It doesn’t work for many people.
KATHERINE HEIGLThere are some things that, if you say them out loud, will hurt the other person’s feelings. I tend to say them anyway. It’s better to be honest.
KATHERINE HEIGLI’m terrible with patience.
KATHERINE HEIGLA lot of children don’t find forever homes because they’re on that special-needs list, even if it’s because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant.
KATHERINE HEIGLI want to stay in the moment and enjoy the great things that are happening.
KATHERINE HEIGLI’m done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn’t seem like any fun.
KATHERINE HEIGLWhen 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!
KATHERINE HEIGLKids 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.
KATHERINE HEIGLI totally wouldn’t mind being able to wave my hand head to toe and have, like, a whole new outfit.
