Hanging Out With Heigl

What are you reading now?
Philip Yancey's What's So Amazing About Grace? Grace is my favorite concept.

Your favorite food?
French.

How do you stay so teeny, then?
I do kettlebells. It's the great Russian secret -- a weighted ball with a handle that you swing. It's literally changed my whole body, and I do it twice a week for 20 minutes.

Which CD are you listening to right now?
Josh Kelley's. His new album has my all-time favorite song, "Falling in Love with You," on it. He's a very soulful singer.

Okay, the last great joke you told or were told.
A man goes to the doctor. He tells him he's got 24 hours to live. He goes home, says to his wife, "I've only got 24 hours to live. I want to make love to you as many times as I can before I die." So they do it a couple of times, then go to sleep. He nudges her at three in the morning and says, "I've only got a few hours left. I want one more time with you." She goes, "That's easy for you, Jim. You don't have to get up at six in the morning."

A Reader Wants To Know
What do you think is necessary for success?
-Rain West, Beijing, China

Heigl: I think that if you are passionate about something, you're already halfway there. Stay focused, work hard, and with some grace, success should follow.

Delicata squash, as its name implies, is a finely flavored, richly sweet winter squash with a nearly fibreless flesh.
