Cast member Katherine Heigl laughs during a panel for the "State of Affairs" at the Television Critics Association NBCUniversal Summer Press Tour in Beverly Hills, California July 13, 2014.

Ever since her controversial stint on "Grey's Anatomy," Katherine Heigl has been labeled by Hollywood as "difficult" to work with. But the actress doesn't see it that way.

"I certainly don't see myself as being difficult," she told reporters Sunday at the Television Critics Association panel for her upcoming new NBC drama "State of Affairs," which she stars in and produces.

"I would never intend to be difficult," she added, when asked whether her mother, Nancy Heigl, an executive producer on "State of Affairs," plays a role in safeguarding her reputation.

"I don't think my mother sees herself as being difficult. We always think it's important to everybody to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully and kindly, so I never -- if I have ever disappointed anybody, it was never intentional."

Heigl recently made headlines again for telling Marie Claire she felt "betrayed" by her acting career after accepting one too many roles in romantic comedies.
