"I just want to play happy people. I'm a commercial kind of gal, and yeah, I would love to do a Monster, but I don't have any grand aspirations to do my Academy Award-winning movie. I love Kate Winslet, but I know I couldn't have her career. Her choices are so fascinating and character-driven. But you gotta drag me to see Babel, you gotta drag me to see Children of Men. The Notebook is one of my all-time favorite movies."
-Katherine Heigl, Entertainment Weekly (#938 June 8, 2007)
