Katie Holmes graces the cover of Elle Magazine's "Women in Hollywood" issue, and we have to say, the wife of Tom Cruise actually looks pretty darn good.

Below are some excerpts from her interview.

On family life: “In my own life, my whole world really revolves around family. I do what I need to do, but it’s like, ‘How is everybody else doing?’ And it’s wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character.”

On life as a working mom on the Broadway set: “[Suri Cruise] would sit in my lap in the makeup chair. She’d hand the wig lady the bobby pins.“

Katie Holmes: Gorgeous, less robotic than usual!

On fashion: “I love Alaïa, for sure. Stella McCartney. I like Ralph Lauren because I feel like it’s very American, and I’m pretty all-American, from Ohio."

"Also, Isabel Marant and a new designer, Sari Gueron."

On the genre of film she loves most: “It can be any genre. I even like vampire movies – they just have to be well done. I want to believe in the characters. The minute it starts to feel not real, I’m not interested.”
