Teen.com - May 2, 2001 List | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 Katherine Heigl - Hollywood's Rising Star Teen.com: Do you have anything in the works for your time off from Roswell? Katie: There are a couple of things we are working on but nothing is definite yet. It’s hard because we end work in April and many films are starting before then so they can be out before the strike. It’s a difficult time for actors right now. Teen.com: Does the WB have cast parties for you guys so you can meet the actors and actresses from the other shows? Katie: Sometimes, it’s kind of strange at first. It’s like you have these different cliques from different shows and it’s just like high school. The shows that have been around the longest are the seniors and they know the most people and the shows that are just starting are the freshman. It is so much fun though. We all got together in NY last summer for a WB party and we got to meet all of the people who are on the same network as us. It was strange because you felt like you should know all of these people but you don’t. There are a lot of really cool people on some of these shows. Teen.com: What was making Valentine like? Katie: It was really crazy. I had three days to do it. My part was only at the beginning so we didn’t need much more than that. We were also working on the show [Roswell] at that time and I wasn’t on break. I had four days off to fly up to Vancouver, film everything and then return to work on Roswell. Movies take much longer to film than TV so we had to work very long hours and cram everything into a short amount of time. While you are doing it you wonder how you are going to make it through it and aren’t really enjoying yourself. When you’re done though, you are like wow, that was huge, I can’t believe I did that. It was really tiring but I was proud of myself for getting through it. Teen.com: Do you feel like that’s what you need to be doing right now? Both movies and TV? Katie: Especially at this point in my career. It’s important for me to continuously get myself out there and keep screaming that I’m here. Teen.com: Where do you want to be in your career in five years? Katie: I’d love to be at a place where it’s easier. When a script comes along with a role that I absolutely adore I can get it without having to kill myself or be really disappointed if I don’t get it. A place where I have more choices and less instability. I’d also love to be producing. I have such definitive ideas about what I’d like to see out there and I’d like to be able to just do it. Teen.com: Whom would you like to work with on a movie? Katie: That’s easy. I would love to work with Edward Norton. I think he is immensely talented and that he is the kind of actor that gives a lot so that you could do your best too. I think I could learn a lot from him. I love Cate Blanchett. I think she is another really talented woman. I just love her power and her presence in films and how she is like a chameleon that can do anything. It is very inspiring. I will do whatever it takes because I want to be that good. And then of course, Julia Roberts. She has it all. She has the most wonderful personality, the most striking looks and is a great actress.
