Of course, of course I'm grateful. How can I not be grateful? I have been afforded such a wonderful life.

People make mistakes - they say things they shouldn't have or didn't necessarily mean. But I strongly believe in consequences. If there are none, someone might feel like they've gotten away with something, or that what they said couldn't have been that bad.

I'm terrible with my workout regime and following it strictly. I'm terrible with a healthy diet and following it strictly. I'm terrible on the weekends about getting up at reasonable hours and all of those things. But, when it comes to my work and the discipline it takes to get to work on time - I hate unprofessionalism.

If I start going back to church, I'd have to stop the smoking and drinking, and I wouldn't be able to curse any more.

Guys are kind of retarded until they're about 30.
Katherine Heigl

I think that everybody has a right to their own thoughts, their own feelings and their own private moments, if they want them.
Katherine Heigl
Image
If I have to be focused and watch what I say, then I have to be comfortable.
Katherine Heigl

Isn'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 Heigl
Image
I prefer a kiss that is so much more than just a tongue in your mouth.

There were so many lean years. A lot of lean years.
Katherine Heigl
Image
I'm grateful people think I'm beautiful or sexy, and I suppose it's better than the alternative, but I do try to fight it a bit so it's not all people see me as. And I'd love to one day be in a position where I could choose a role to showcase my creativity versus just my bra size.

A 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.

It's easy to be taken advantage of if you're not honest.
