![“Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn. I also look up to Kate Winslet and Renée [Zellweger] and Cate Blanchett...and Diane Keaton - she's a genius. I think it's very inspiring to see these women attack such complex roles.” quote by Katie Holmes](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/08d/katie-holmes-6657_actors_growing-up-i-always-had-my-dreams-set-on_439630.jpg)
