Katie Holmes did an in depth interview with Glamour magazine. She really let them in a little bit on what her crazy life is like, and how it feels to be a famous 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 in the world.

During the first couple of days [with Suri], we would just sleep right
next to her to make sure she was breathing. And I was constantly
learning on the job, but Tom was very helpful and supportive.

On a day in her life:

We’re all together. 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 storybooks to Suri, and we all laugh.
When a good song comes on, he’ll break out in a dance. We’ll watch
movies in bed—recently Madagascar and Cinderella, for Suri. We really have a good time.

On becoming a part of Tom Cruise's world.

From an early age I knew that I wanted to be in this business. So I did
everything I could to get here, and when I met Tom, I knew in an
instant that we were going to be together, that we were going to get
married. He does have a very big life. And you know, we just do it.
And, as a woman, you make that transition from being single to [being]
a partner. I have a teammate, and it’s like, we’re going to make this
work.

On how she always knew she was going to marry Tom.

When Top Gun came out, my sisters were like, “Oh, my God, Top Gun!
Tom Cruise!” And I very confidently said, “I’m going to marry him one
day.” It wasn’t like, How do I get to Tom Cruise? It was just: I think
I’m going to marry him. Why not? He’ll like me. I’m fun.

On the big life she has now.

That’s where I am: My purse is full of Color Wonder [for Suri], scripts
and calendars. I feel really, really lucky. And you know what? I feel
the best response [to all those tabloid stories] is just going about my
life: enjoying life, making movies, being a good mom and a good wife,
and focusing on that. Because if you’re doing well, what can they say?

You all know that I have a little, teeny TINY obsession with Katie. Her life is just fascinating to me. So I love reading interviews like this. It really feels like we got a glimpse into the inner workings of her mind. For more quotes, check out Glamour's website.
