Katherine Heigl Mother Quotations

My mother often says that she could never have done it if I had been the youngest, if she had other small children she had to cart around New York City for my auditions and go-sees (modeling auditions) and stuff.

My mother is a realist, and she's had biological and adoptive children, and she said it's no different: No matter what, they're putting a stranger into your arms. You don't know them yet.

When something disappointing happened, my mother would remind me not to let that become my focus. There's still so much to be grateful for.

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.

I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.

I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.

My mother is a great source of advice and wisdom and consolation for me.

If I spread myself too thin, I'm not a good actor, I'm not a good mother, and I'm just really high-strung - and everybody hates me.
