Katherine Heigl Interview
I love Katie Heigl. Seriously - she just seems like a cool, level headed person. If I had to guess, I’d bet she’s not a diva at all. Plus, I love her finacee, Josh Kelley, too. I’ll hit you with the highlights of the interview with Katherine and the AP at her recent Cosmo party.
On the downside fame: “With all the magazines, there’s so much access into people’s personal lives. You feel watched all the time and it feels like you can’t be yourself, like you can’t go to the grocery store unless you’re wearing a cute outfit and look perfect. But I feel like I’m learning how to live with it and be myself regardless of judgment or criticism. All I really care about are the people I love. It is overwhelming. I think it takes experience.”
What does she think Grey’s says about women? “I’m really grateful because the character I play is smart and ambitious. And not ambitious in a bad way, getting ahead at the expense of someone else. She’s ambitious in her own self, pushing herself to be her best. The women on this show are independent, strong and career-driven. They’re so supportive of one another, and that’s an important message to put out into the world today. Every woman is an individual, interesting and inspired in her own right. I think they really push that theory in this show and I love that. I’m proud of that.”
How does she unwind? “My life is either overwhelming or totally underwhelming. I’ll have really busy weeks with work, photo shoots and interviews, and then I’ll have a week where I’m not working that much. I have these big couches at home, so I can have my four dogs on my lap while I read a book. I knit a lot. When Josh is around, I want to spend time with him because we don’t get to spend a lot of time together. We’ll have a lazy, easygoing breakfast out, go to the movies, or go to a bar and have a drink. I don’t go to a lot of clubs or concerts. Of course I go to his concerts! But otherwise it’s calm stuff. I just like it to be relaxed.”
