Katie Holmes Covers 'C Magazine' September 2012

Katie Holmes is stunning in a Tom Ford dress on the cover of C Magazine‘s September 2012 issue.

Here’s what the 33-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On her life and future: “I’m ready to take on some more challenging roles. I feel like I worked so much at such a young age that I really wanted to have life experiences. I feel more balanced and like I have more to bring to the table. I always felt like I wanted to catch up [in my personal life] to what I was doing [in my career].”

On designing for women: “I think women want to feel sexy but they don’t want anyone to know they’re trying.”

Writer Kelsey McKinnon on interviewing Katie the day before she filed for divorce: “Going back over the tapes, there were signs: Holmes was certainly very aware of herself, laying a couple cards on the table but never showing her whole hand. Most noticeably, the one name decisively absent from her lexicon: Tom Cruise. She never actually refers to him by name over pages and pages of transcription.” (via WWD).
