Katherine Heigl: Hello, everybody!

Question: Hi, Katherine. I have followed your career since "My Father, the Hero" and think you are a stunningly beautiful and talented actress. What first drew you to acting?

Katherine Heigl: Actually it was kind of a strange turn of events. My aunt had come to take some pictures of my sister and I for a hair care product she had invented, and asked my mother if she could [send] some photos to some modeling agencies. My mother agreed, and so I started children's modeling at age nine. One thing led to another, and I started doing commercials. Then I did my first film at age 11 and just knew that that was the thing for me. It became my passion.

Question: What was it like auditioning for "Roswell"?

Katherine Heigl: It was actually a very stressful and sort of waiting expectantly experience. I started by auditioning for producers, then for producers and directors, then for the studio, then for the studio again, and then for the networks. You really have to impress them for this stuff. It's hard. You have to be inspired on that day.

Question: What intrigues you most about your character in "Roswell"?

Katherine Heigl: First of all, I really like Isabel. I don't know how likable she appears to everybody else, because she appears so tough. But she has so many facets, she's interesting. She appears very tough on people, but in reality, she is very down-to-earth and just wants to be a normal teenage girl and live a normal teenage girl's life. And she has a lot of fear about people finding out about her extraterrestrial heritage.

Question: Hey, Katherine, I have been a fan of yours since you were in the movie "That Night," and I want to know, when you are not acting, what do you do for fun?
