Katherine Heigl Plans to Adopt

Katherine Heigl recently talked with USA Today about the evirnoment at Grey's Anatomy, her new film "Knocked Up", and her future family plans. Some highlights:

On if she's ever had a pregnancy scare:
No, I've never had a real pregnancy scare. I've had paranoid panic attacks. I've always been very, very careful because for me, it's not something I'd want to have just happen. I would like it to be planned. But there have been those moments where, if I'm just even half a day late, I'm like, ' What's going on?? Noooo! '

On whether the difficult birthing scene in the movie and sharing in her sister Meg's delivery has impacted her desire to have her own kids:
Oh, yeah. I've always planned to adopt anyway, but that definitely reinforced my want to. I'm done with the whole idea of having my own children. [Childbirth] doesn't seem like any fun. I don't think it's necessary to go through all of that.

On the fallout of the homophobic slur used by Isaiah Washington and her friendship with T.R. Knight:
I was ultimately grateful that it opened up a dialogue. To me, I wasn't making a political stand. I was making a stand about hurting people's feelings. It's very simple in my mind. You do not actively seek to hurt other people's feelings. I don't care what their sexual orientation, race or gender. You don't do that. We are all human beings, part of the human race, and we need to be compassionate and giving and kind with one another. Enough with the Michael Richards. Enough with the Mel Gibson. Enough with this. It's disgusting. The world is still very bigoted. Go see Borat. I didn't laugh during that movie. I cried. I was horrified.

On whether she wants both T.R. and Isaiah to return to the hit show:
I do. I think Isaiah very much values his job and his character, and he takes it all very seriously and he's very passionate about it. I'd hate to see him lose that, though I do think two strikes and you're out.
