Katie Holmes "definitely" wants to have more children with husband Tom Cruise and says she fell in love with the actor "from the moment that I shook his hand for the first time."
The actress, who married Cruise in a fairytale wedding in November, dishes about the actor, her daughter Suri and her career in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar.
"I have a husband and children that I adore. I have a career that I really love. When I sit back and reflect, it's-wow! I am very grateful," she tells the magazine.
"Tom makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world and has since the day I met him. I love being with him. I love calling him husband."
OTHER TIDBITS:
On her first date with Cruise: "Here in Los Angeles, my first motorcycle ride…to the beach. It was amazing and fast. I was in love from the moment that I shook his hand for the first time."
On motherhood: "I felt so proud to be having a baby and so excited. And I felt closer to other women-to my sisters, to my mom. I felt empowered, like 'I've given birth. I did it! There's nothing I can't handle."
"I've really enjoyed this time that I have taken to be with Suri as well as the challenges of the first couple of months: feeding and pumping, learning to decipher what each cry means-is she hungry? Is she tired? Does she need a fresh diaper? And figuring out how to really help her."
On her career: "I have a whole new set of responsibilities. My work is very important to me. My family is very important to me. When I go to work, it will be the right thing, worth my time and worth my time away from my family."
