Katie Holmes Quotes

• Its kind of fun being the cute, little one. In fact, Im finding it hard to grow out of that.
• I know this sounds dorky, but Im always having this out-of-body experience with my career. I cant wait to write it down. I cant wait to tell my grandchildren. Its amazing.
• Ive kept in touch with a lot of my high school friends. When Im home, I see them. Its really cool.
• Its important to try to be creative. I paint, and my mom is going to teach me how to make clothes. I think people should have passions.
• My family always keeps me in check. I have three older sisters, and they work their butts off. Theyre all very supportive of my career, but I know whats really important is kids and family.
• I felt so proud to be having a baby and so excited. And I felt closer to other women - to my sisters, to my mom. I felt empowered, like, Ive given birth. I did it! Theres nothing I cant handle. Ive really enjoyed this time that I have taken to be with Suri as well as the challenges of the first couple of months: feeding and pumping, learning to decipher what each cry means - is she hungry? Is she tired? Does she need a fresh diaper? - and figuring out how to really help her.
