As part of her whirlwind promo tour, Mad Money actress Katie Holmes dropped by the New York City set of Good Morning America today to chat about love, life, and, of course, her new movie.

Here are some highlights:

Katie on her idea of the perfect wedding day: “I got ready and I was so excited. And I, you know, I looked at my dad, and said ‘Honestly, do I look OK? I mean, this is important to me.’ You know, he was really sweet. He said, ‘You look great.’ And the moment that the doors opened and I saw Tom, I was just locked in. I mean, it was so magical. It was perfect.”

Katie on Suri: “Now she’s talking all the time. So she’s saying, ‘Who’s that? Who’s that?’ We were at FAO Schwartz last night (pictured left). We got in, running around, eating ice cream and playing with all of the toys. And Tom and I were playing with a lot of the toys ourselves. It’s fun for adults. You get carried away. She’s delightful. I mean, she’s very strong and bright. And she picks out some of her clothes, and she loves running around. She’s beautiful, very smart.”

Katie on costar Diane Keaton: “[I learned a] tremendous amount from her. “She’s obviously a great actress. I loved watching the way she prepared for scenes. She’s a genius. I mean, every take is different and perfect. And she’s also, you know, she just came out with her book and she’s a mother. She’s interested in so many things. What a life she’s had.”

Katie on starring in Mad Money: “”I love, you know, working with a female director. A movie with all of these women. The three of us really got to know each other in the hair and makeup trailer. We had about 2½ hours every morning. We talked about movies, fashion, motherhood, designing. We listened to Queen Latifah’s new album [’The Sisterhood’].”
