Katie Holmes Values her Privacy

Katie Holmes recently sat down for an interview with Town & Country Magazine; here are some of the highlights:

On her career trajectory:
"For now I like acting and directing. Eventually I'll just direct. It's been something that has come to me over time. I've been acting for about 20 years now, and in the last few years I've become more confident and gotten more interested in storytelling as a whole. Also, I've been feeling inspired to put my point of view out there. It's scary, but the process of it is something I really love."

On maintaining a work/life balance:
"This business is so unstable, and you never really know where you're going to be. The thing about directing is I can say I have this window and that's when we're getting it done. My child is the most important person to me, and her upbringing is paramount to my work right now. It's very important that I'm present and she has a stable, innocent childhood. I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there's nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed."

On valuing her privacy:
"To experience something publicly and privately is a lot for a person to go through. In today's world a lot of celebrities probably shield their children from the tabloids; in my household we know what they print isn't true, so we don't pay attention. There are more important things. But it's very relatable to me; if people know who you are, they might write about you, and you can't control that...I take time off, and I like to spend it with my family. I have a lot of nieces and nephews, and they grow up so fast. I really miss them, so it's nice to have those moments with board games and normal stuff."
