Katie's a 'Glamour' Girl

Katie Holmes hasn't had time to talk lately. Not only is she a full-time mom to 2-year-old Suri, but she recently wrapped a stint on Broadway and is now filming her new comedy, "Extra Man."

But for Glamour's 70th birthday issue, Katie sits down with Sheila Weller to explain why she's upset at the tabloids and grateful that her husband (Tom Cruise -- heard of him?) can cook.

On rumors about her relationship with Tom and speculation that Suri didn't really exist: "We were changing diapers. [Tom] said, 'I don't want you to get upset,' and I said, 'Well, I am upset.' So we approached it together. But I definitely felt like -- as a woman, as the mother of Suri -- I want to handle this! My mom is very strong, and if anyone ever said anything about any of us, she would be, 'Excuse me?' That's my family!'"

On what Tom's really like: "He loves women; he was raised with sisters. He's strong and intelligent and very, very funny ... He's not a dreamer -- he just does it. He'll say, 'I think I like that movie,' and the next day, 'I'm going to make that movie!'

On knowing she wanted to marry Tom as a little girl: "When 'Top Gun' came out my sisters were like, 'Oh, my God, 'Top Gun!' Tom Cruise!' And I very confidently said, 'I'm going to marry him one day.' It wasn't like, 'How do I get Tom Cruise?' It was just: 'I think I'm going to marry him. Why not? He'll like me. I'm fun.'"

On a day in the life of Tom, Katie, and Suri: "We like to be together, so we use the house for our [business] meetings. [We] play Yahtzee, board games, Scrabble. We grill; have pool parties. We play 'The Three Little Pigs' and Suri is the Big Bad Wolf. [Tom] reads story books to Suri and we all laugh. When a good song comes on, hell break into dance. We'll watch movies in bed -- recently 'Madagascar' and 'Cinderella,' for Suri. We have a really good time."

On cooking: "I don't really cook that much -- eventually I will. I do make cupcakes. And [Tom] makes his pasta carbonara for me. He knows exactly how to do it: a pinch of this, a pinch of that. He has a recipe, but he also kind of [improvises] by himself. You have to do the egg at a certain time. He did it once when we were camping."
