Actress Katherine Heigl was raised as a Mormon, and now she says she eventually wants to return to the faith.

In an interview with Britain's Daily Mail, the 29-year-old star of "Grey's Anatomy," "Knocked Up" and "27 Dresses" - whose family converted to the LDS faith when she was 7 years old - admits she's not "a strong, practicing Mormon":

"I'm not as disciplined about it as I once was, but I hope to find my way back as I get older and a little less selfish. I'm ashamed to say that I've just got very lazy about it. I satisfy my vices instead of fighting them. If I start going back to church, I'd have to stop the smoking and drinking, and I wouldn't be able to curse any more."

How prevalent are Heigl's vices? Most every interview she gives - like this Entertainment Weekly profile written when "Knocked Up" was released - prominently mentions her cigarette habit.

Heigl, who married musician Joshua Kelly last December at Deer Valley (near her Utah ranch), will get to play a role tied to her LDS faith soon. She's producing and starring in "Escape," an adaptation of Carolyn Jessop's memoir of life as a wife and mother in Warren Jeffs' FLDS sect.
