I’m not out burning bras, but I’m very opinionated about women owning their power. — Katherine Heigl

I think a lot of women innately know how to play their hand. I’m not a big one for the rules. — Katherine Heigl

As women, we have more of a tendency to be people–pleasers, and I know a lot of women who are not vocal about what makes them happy. — Katherine Heigl

The thing women must do to rise to power is to redefine their femininity. Once, power was considered a masculine attribute. In fact power has no sex. — Katharine Graham

In large families, it seems it is hardest to be either the first or the last child. That was certainly true in ours. — Katharine Graham

My mother is a realist, and she’s had biological and adoptive children, and she said it’s no different: No matter what, they’re putting a stranger into your arms. You don’t know them yet. — Katherine Heigl

A lot of children don’t find forever homes because they’re on that special–needs list, even if it’s because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant. — Katherine Heigl
