I'm a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don't have control of every situation. I'm in the public eye and I have to make mistakes and learn from them. But my job is to keep the personal personal and just be a good actress and do my job and not worry about my personal life. So that's what I do. I get strapped in and do my thing. - Katie Holmes
