Katherine Heigl poses for UK Marie Claire August 2009.

And now she is pretty on InStyle magazine cover August 2009 issue.

She talks about:

Knowing what she wants:

In my early 20s, I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted… I was fed up with trying to be somebody else, and got really lucky and met a great guy [husband Josh Kelley] who loved me for me. I keep telling my friends, seriously, write down what you want and make it specific. Like, I’m talking, do you want a beach house in Venice? Be specific and be creative and define not only what you want in your career but what you want in your personal life.”

Being Honest:

Now I’ve got this moniker that I’m the foot-in-mouth gal, and I keep thinking, In what way? Because I said something you don’t agree with? Because I said something you don’t like? I’m just telling you my opinion. I hate the idea that I can’t be honest about how I feel about things because it’s going to piss somebody off who feels differently. That seems preposterous to me.”

Using A Stylist:

If it’s the Emmy’s or the Oscar’s I need a little extra help, but I just like to do myself because I don’t like all the hoopla,” Heigl says. “Inevitably it’s me who knows what I want. When I leave the house. I want to look in the mirror and go, ‘I feel like the best version of myself in this.”

‘R’ ratings:

I know this is going to sound bad but I’m really glad [Ugly Truth is rated] R. I didn’t want to do another PG-13 movie. [In any real-life contentious relationship with romantic underpinnings] you’re probably going to drop the F-bomb once in a while. You’re probably going to say some things that are kind of harsh. And you’re definitely going to talk about sex. It doesn’t have to be so Snow White and Prince Charming.”
