Following her divorce from ex-husband Tom Cruise Katie Holmes has been all about girl power and raising her nearly 8-year-old daughter, Suri to feel confident about herself.

According to Us Weekly, the 35-year-old who covers the April issue of Elle UK, admitted that her daughter's lifestyle is "so different from how I grew up," but acknowledges that the same general parenting rules still apply.

She explained, "I think the basics are very important: the number one thing is making sure my child feels loved. And good about herself."

Holmes continued, "And that what she does and who she is, is special and important, and should be celebrated. And my mom always said, 'No one loves you like your mother.'"

The "Mania Days" star admitted that things are very different since her days as Joey Potter on the popular '90s teen series "Dawson's Creek."

She confessed, "The world has changed so much since then. Social media, and what people are watching," adding, "But I think innocence was one of the draws of the show.

"It was these kids going through first love and heartbreak and growing up and friendships changing. So I'm glad that the innocence still holds up."

After settling down with Hollywood veteran Tom Cruise she famously divorced the actor in 2012 after five years of marriage. It was later revealed that her reasoning behind the split was to get her daughter away from his religion of Scientology.

Katie Holmes actually credits her past experiences with making her the person she is today.

She explained, "I think all of our experiences bring us to a greater understanding of ourselves and help us realize what is most important"

She continued, "That being said, I have three older sisters and one older brother and I went to an all-girls school, and have always been a fan of women. I support women and all experiences give you more insight into others, as well as yourself."

Although Katie Holmes is all about supporting her fellow female she revealed that she does not necessarily label herself as a feminist.

She said, "I identify with women. I identify with people who work really hard. I love strong women and I love strong men, and I love being inspired by people who fight for what they believe in and work hard and are creative."

The "Miss Meadows" star added, "And have integrity. I don't think (the word feminism) is problematic."
