Katherine Heigl wants to be the best mother she can.

The 31-year-old star - who has an adopted daughter Naleigh with
husband Josh Kelley – has hinted her future plans probably won’t
involve quite so much acting work because her family is now her main
priority.

She said: "I think I'm just going to try and keep it a little more
mellow and be a little bit more of a mom, since that's a big part of
my life now."

The ’27 Dresses’ actress also described her daughter as a "wonderful"
addition to her life and "the icing on the cake".

Katherine – who has portrayed Dr. Izzie Stevens in US medical drama
'Grey's Anatomy' for the past six years - has recently been on
maternity leave from the show to look after her daughter and admits
the break has made her re-evaluate her priorities.

She told People.com: "I took those three months off and I realised how
very, very important my family is to me and I want to be more
available to them."

Katherine and musician Josh adopted Naleigh from Korea last September.
