Katie Holmes On Tom, Suri & Loving Her Life

Katie Holmes covers the April 2009 issue of Glamour Magazine which celebrates it’s 70th anniversary. Inside, Katie opens up and talks about her hubby Tom Cruise, her daughter Suri and how she loves her life.

On Her Childhood Icons:
Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn. I also look up to Kate Winslet and Renée [Zellweger] and Cate Blanchett…and Diane Keaton—she’s a genius.”

On being married Tom Cruise:
As a woman, you make the transition from being singe to [being] a partner. I have a teammate.”

On being a mom:
“Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience—in an instant you become strong. You have to be a little bit wiser; it’s the most important job you have in the world… We like to be together, so we use the house for our [business] meetings. [We] play Yahtzee, board games, Scrabble. We grill; have pool parties. We play ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and Suri is the Big Bad Wolf. [Tom] reads story books to Suri and we all laugh. When a good song comes on, he’ll break into dance. We’ll watch movies in bed—recently Madagascar and Cinderella, for Suri. We have a really good time.”

Katie on The Media’s Coverage of Suri:
“Some of the stuff [people said] was such absolutely horrible things to say about a child. It was so uncalled for and so disgusting. Enough is enough.”

On cooking:
I don’t really cook that much—eventually I will. I do make cupcakes. And [Tom] makes his pasta carbonara for me. He knows exactly how to do it: a pinch of this, a pinch of that. He has a recipe, but he also kind of [improvises] by himself. You have to do the egg at a certain time. He did it once when we were camping.”

On her career:
Acting—I want to do it all. Bad girl, good girl, complicated girl. Aren’t we all complicated?”
