Quotables: Katie Holmes Says

“I don’t know. I mean … I don’t know. People have been having babies a long time.”

Katie Holmes‘ response when C magazine asked her whether or not the “birth” of Suri Cruise brought Katie and Tom together as a “family.” And to that, I say LOL! Girlfriend sure was dropping the gauntlet on Tom for a few many months leading up to her secretly-hatched escape, huh? The interviewer also claims that Katie didn’t speak Tom’s name aloud—not once—throughout the entire interview, and kind of dodged all questions about him, including any general references. God, the more we hear about this, the better it gets.

In related news, a former classmate of Katie’s has come forward and claimed that when the two were in private Catholic high school together, they were expected to pray daily for someone—anyone—that they admired. Katie’s choice as a teen? Tom Cruise. No joke. From Celebuzz:

“In religion class, when we were about 16, we would have to say prayers to keep a certain someone safe and out of harm,” she said. “Katie would say it for Tom Cruise. We did that every day, so she would have said thousands of prayers for him. She also had a secret picture of him hidden in the inside of her text books. It’s crazy to think she married him – it was her dream come true.”

And before you guys go saying that Angela here is a big, fat liar, let me remind you of a quote that Katie herself … quoted, back in 2004, right when she became engaged to Chris Klein:

“I think every little girl dreams about her wedding. I used to think I was going to marry Tom (Cruise).”

Isn’t that sweet that Katie got to realize her childhood dream? And even sweeter that the naive little girl finally grew up and out of it? Because I remember, back when I was a little girl, I wanted to be a firefighter. Today, I realize what a bad idea that would be, considering I have a fear of all things heights-related, and I also hate heat. Amazing how we stretch and grow, isn’t it?
