Entrevue (France) - July 2001 List | 1 | 2
Robin Lynch: You did a rather hot layout for an American magazine! Do you consider yourself sexy?

Katherine Heigl: Of course not! Moreover, I only liked certain photos, and only because of my hairstyle and the lighting! Frankly, I don’t think I’ll do that again very soon. For me, my thing is more turtlenecks and pants.

Robin Lynch: It appears you don’t drink, you don’t smoke…

Katherine Heigl: (laughs) I am such a boring girl, you can’t imagine!

Robin Lynch: Do you have any hobbies, any guilty pleasures?

Katherine Heigl: I love reading, writing, and watching "chick flicks", like Pretty Woman.

Robin Lynch: You seem really well-balanced!

Katherine Heigl: I just pay attention to what I say…if you could see me at home when I’m relaxed!

Robin Lynch: You film continuously. Can you have a love life?

Katherine Heigl: Oh…it’s very, very difficult!

Robin Lynch: But your boyfriend is also an actor. That simplifies things, doesn’t it?

Katherine Heigl: A bit…It’s in my best interests to work hard if I want to achieve the goals that I’ve set for myself. It leaves me very little time to devote to my love life…

Robin Lynch: Were you popular in school? You must already have been very beautiful!

Katherine Heigl: No, I was too skinny and sickly in my training bra. I wasn’t happy at all. When I was younger, I dreamed of having bigger breasts!

Robin Lynch: You dreamed of looking like a feminine cliché?

Katherine Heigl: You know, I was raised in a little town where everyone looked alike. It was absolutely necessary to conform to the image of the local young girls. Me, I refused such conformity.

Robin Lynch: What were you like?

Katherine Heigl: When I look again at the photos of that time, I have to laugh at myself! I thought I was very cool, when I was actually so…ridiculous! In fact, to be honest, I was very hung-up during my time in high school. And certainly, the boys made fun of me!

Robin Lynch: Have you asked yourself what those boys think now when seeing your sexy photos?

Katherine Heigl: Would you believe that the day the magazine came out, I came face-to-face with two of those guys. They had just seen the issue! I was so ill at ease…I was literally scarlet! Talk about revenge…it was more of a humiliation!
