I'm Definitely A Messy Person... I Know Where Everything Is But I Just Can't Organize. I Don't Make Lists And Find Scripts On The Laundry Machine, And Under My Bed, Or In The Bathroom, Kitchen. It's Bad, I Really Need To Take Control.

More From Katie Holmes

I Wasn't Very Funny Or Flashy, I Was Kind Of Boring.

I Really Hope That I Get To Work With Chris [nolan] Some Day.

I Love All Of His Movies. I Love All His Movies. I Love Tom.

I Think Now I'm Just Excited To Continue Directing And Find Stories That Inspire Me And Bring Those To The Screen.

I'm Not Computer Literate. I E-mail. I Know How To Get On The Web, But I Haven't Crossed Over Into The Internet World. I'm Old-fashioned, I Guess.

Simon Mcburney On "all My Sons" On Broadway - We Had An Eight-week Rehearsal Period And I Really Enjoyed The Way That He Prepared Us To Go Onstage. It Was Different Than Anything I've Done And It Was A Different Way Of Being Directed, So I Tried To Take My Different Experiences Of These Directors And Give Those To My Actors.

Different Experiences

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. I Think It's Very Inspiring To See These Women Attack Such Complex Roles.

I Think It Was Around The Time Of Doing Those Shorts. [producer] Christine Vachon, I Had A Meeting With Her, And She Mentioned The Short, This Aol Short, And Asked If I Wanted To Do One. And Then The Next Step Was The "30 For 30," And Again That Boosted My Confidence Enough To Decide I'm Going To Do A Feature Narrative. And I Was Supported By My Agency, And [producer] Jane Rosenthal Has Been An Exceptional Friend, And She Produced "all We Had," She Encouraged Me To Do The "30 For 30."

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, 'i've Given Birth. I Did It! There's Nothing I Can't Handle.' I've 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.

I'm So Spoiled - I Must Have A Starbucks Vanilla Latte Every Day.

I Optioned A Book Called "rare Objects" By Kathleen Tessaro And I'm Adapting It . It Takes Place In The 1930s And It's About Two Women And That's What I'm Working On To Direct.

She'll Really Tell Me [what She Thinks]. Like Today I'm Wearing Brown Suede Pants, And She Said, 'i Don't Like Your Pants.' But Then She'll Say, `you've Got To Wear These Shoes.' Or 'that's So Pretty, Mom. Wear That.' She's Got A Great Eye.

Every Role That You Don't Get Burns You For A While.

I’m Not The Easiest Person To Live With. I’m Kind Of A Slob.

I'm Just Going To Say That I Met Somebody Last Year, I Fell In Love, I Had My First Love, And It Was Something So Incredible And Indescribable.

I'm Not Strictly Vegetarian, But Meat Doesn't Play A Big Part In My Diet.

Definitely Trust Yourself. Work Hard. Be Honest With Yourself. And Life Can Be Joyful. It Is Joyful. Just Give It Your All And It's All Going To Work Out.

When I Read Scripts And When I Read Books, It's More Of An Emotional Response And I Was Really Drawn To These Characters.

I Like Being Part Of Good Movies And Telling Stories That Mean Something To Me. I Also Like Playing Characters That I Look Up To.

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 In The World.

I'm Not The Easiest Person To Live With. I'm Kind Of A Slob. So For Me To Consider A Roommate, It Would Have To Be One Of My Sisters Or Something.

You Go In Thinking You Have To Do This All By Yourself, And What I Learned Was No, When You Hire Great People, They Do So Much For You.

Definitely Being A Mom Changes Your Perspective On Everything.

I Think That I'm Always Open To Any Kind Of Project.

I'm Free Of An Abusive Cult, Based On Money And Power That Worships A Fictional Deity And Safely Back With The Catholic Church.

Pretty, And You May Be Talented, But Nobody Will Remember That If You're Mean.

When I Was On Set I Tried Not To Bug Steven Soderbergh Too Much. "why Did You Put The Camera There?" But He Was Very Open To My Questions And Definitely Being On His Set Was Really Thrilling Because He's Such A Master.

It's Actually Great To Shoot Far Away From Hollywood Because We Don't Have The Distractions Of The Parties And Premieres And All That. And, Of Course, You Can Save Money - There Are No Good Shoe Stores.

I Think I Want To Pursue A Movie Career And Maybe Even Pursue Some Theatre.

I Feel Very Lucky. I Have A Husband And Baby That I Adore. I Have A Career I Really Love. When I Sit Back And Reflect, It's, Like, Wow! I Am Very Grateful.

What I Love About Watching Classic Horror Films Is That They Take You On A Ride And They Obviously Make You Scared Because You're So Invested In The Characters, You're Almost Forgetting That Oh My God, This Is About To Scare Me.

We Had Such A Wonderful Set Of Circumstances In Wilmington. Yes, The Four Of Us Became Famous Literally Overnight, But We Were In A Small Town And We Always Knew When People Were Coming Down. We Always Knew When To Behave.

I Really Can't Deny It, I Am Who I Am. I'm Pretty Normal. I'm Not That Smooth Type Of Girl. I Run Into Things, I Trip, I Spill Food. I Say Stupid Things... I Really Don't Have It All Together.

Suri Is My Daughter, She's Very, Very Special To Me, And This Project Took A Lot Of Time And Because It's My First Feature I Wanted Her To Know That She's So Special To Me. I Thought That As She Gets Old That Will Mean More To Her, That She's Always The Most Important, And I Wanted To Give Her A Special Thanks Because She Means Everything To Me.

I Find That Usually When I Watch Something Like Horror Film, I'm Constantly Thinking No, It's Not Going To Happen.

I Love Renée Zellweger, She Can Do No Wrong In My Eyes. I Relate To Every Character She Embodies, Because She Has No Pretense. I Also Love Amy Adams: She's So Kind And Talented, And Whenever I Watch Her I Think, I Want To Be Her Friend-i've Seen Enchanted Many Times With My Daughter. Meryl Streep, Of Course. And I Love What Cate Blanchett Brings To Every Movie She Does.

Working On "pieces Of April" With Peter Hedges At A Young Age Was Really Very Powerful. It Was A Different Kind Of Work. We Shot That In 10 Days And Peter Was Right There With Us, Right Next To The Camera. It Was Very Grounded And I Really Liked Working That Way. I Liked The Way He Directed Us.

I Was Paying Attention To Where Steven Soderbergh Had The Camera And His Shots. I Was Blown Away.

It's Kind Of Fun Being The Cute, Little One. In Fact, I'm Finding It Hard To Grow Out Of That.

I Got Caught Kissing. Like By My Parents. It Was So Horrible. It's So Embarrassing, I'm Blushing.

I'm Really Into My Running Workout. Running Really Helps Me Clear My Head And Makes Me Feel Good, Especially When I'm Stressed.

I Used To Get So Worried That If A Scene Didn't Go A Certain Way, Then It Was Horrible. But Then I Realized That It Was Better To Give The Director Options In The Editing Room Than Just Being Locked Into How It's Supposed To Be.

It's Nice To Do Something About Something That Scares You Rather Than Just Run From It And Hope That Someone Saves You. I Like Seeing Strong Female Characters And Somebody Who Doesn't Run Away Screaming When Scared, But Confronts The Monsters.

How Do You Know You Told A Good Punch Line, A Good Joke? It's Because They Laugh. How Do You Know You've Got A Good Scary Punch Line? It's Because They Jump Out Of The Seat Or Scream. So The Best Reward Is One You Can Listen To.

I Felt That There Was A Beautiful Story [ In "all We Had"] To Be Told And One That Was Valuable And Also One That Was A Size That I Could Do As My First.

My Norm For Watching Scary Movies, What I Love About It, Is When They Work And They Scare Me, Which Is Not That Often I'm Afraid. The More You Know The Genre, Your Taste Becomes A Little More Rarefied And You Take A Very Particular Route To The Type Of Movies You Like In The Genre. But I Still Get Scared.

Any Time I Break Up With Dawson Or Question Him, Viewers Turn Against Me.

I Really Enjoyed Working On The First One [batman Franchise] And I Wish I Could Have Worked With Chris Nolan Again And I Hope To Work With Him Again.

I'm Definitely A Messy Person... I Know Where Everything Is But I Just Can't Organize. I Don't Make Lists And Find Scripts On The Laundry Machine, And Under My Bed, Or In The Bathroom, Kitchen. It's Bad, I Really Need To Take Control.

I'm So Spoiled - I Must Have A Starbucks Vanilla Latte Every Day. Otherwise, It's Going To Be A Bad Day. I Also Love Jelly Bellies. But That's Bad. Don't Tell My Mom.

We All Keep Dreaming, And Luckily, Dreams Come True.

Dreams Come True

Inspirational Celebrity

I’ve Found The Man Of My Dreams. From The Moment I Met Him It Just Felt Like I’d Known Him Forever. I Was Blown Away. He’s The Most Incredible Man. He’s So Generous And Kind, And He Helps So Many People, And, Um, He Makes Me Laugh Like I’ve Never Laughed, And He’s A Great Friend.

I Have Some Road Rage Inside Of Me. Traffic, Especially In L.a., Is A Pet Peeve Of Mine.

I Remember When We Were Doing "batman Begins" And To Watch Chris Nolan Go From "memento" To "batman" And Take That Leap From Such A Smaller Size To A Big Movie, That's Inspiring. But Those Movies Are Their Own Type Of Art And You Have To Really Understand It And Really Know That World And I Would Have To Take A Long Time To Figure That Out.because My Brain Doesn't Naturally Go There.

I Found It To Be More Challenging To Be In A Huge Effects Movie, Because A Lot Of The Things Aren't There.you Have To Trust The Director And React To Nothing.

We Didn't Have The Time To Watch Playback All The Time So I Depended On My Team [all We Had].

I Started Working On How I Would Direct This A Year Before We Started Shooting "all We Had" And I Was Prepping, Acting, And Directing Sort Of At The Same Time. I Knew That I Didn't Want To Hold People Up On Set.

Steven [soderbergh] Is So Generous And When I Sat Down To Meet Him For "logan Lucky" He Answered So Many Questions About Directing, So When I Was On Set I Tried Not To Bug Him Too Much.

~i've Never Met A 2-year-old Who Is Terrible. I'm So Cool With Every Stage My Daughter Goes Through. I Just Think She's Amazing. I Hope She's Not Looking At Me Thinking, Mom, Are The Terrible 30s Coming On With You?~

I Did Phone Booth, And That Was Shot Very, Very Quickly, But That Was Joel Schumacher, Who's Shot So Many Movies That, If Anybody Can Figure Out How To Do It In A Couple Of Days, It's Him.

I Never Really Look Back. I Just Approach Life (taking) It One Day At A Time. I'm Just Really Grateful.

One Day At A Time
