I grew up watching science fiction with my dad. It was kind of our little secret. It was our bonding time as father and daughter.

I have to remind myself constantly to not be antisocial, because I stay to myself a lot. Im a lot more introspective than my characters.

As far as acting goes, you get to a certain point where I think everyone can do the job and it comes down to a level of commitment. I think sometimes all you have to do is show up.

My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesnt work hard enough.

Some of the craziest people Ive met, in my life, are some of the most brilliant people Ive met.

I grew up in Oregon so I grew up around reservations, so I've always kind of had this knowledge. Not a tremendous amount of knowledge, but an outsider's knowledge of what reservation life was like.

Most people don't go to work and beat up a 13-year-old. It's a really freaky thing.

I think I was obsessed with the culture of riding. I got sick of having to date guys who rode motorcycles for me to be on them.

I find that in the science fiction world, you have almost more women fans than male fans and I think it's because there's been such a shortage of strong female characters.

My mom always said, 'Marry someone smarter than yourself, Katee, because No. 1, you're not that smart. And No. 2, then you'll have smart babies.'

If you can ride through Texas with somebody, which is 700 miles of just straight, flat freeway riding, then you can be friends with them forever.

Stigma against mental illness is a scourge with many faces, and the medical community wears a number of those faces.

I think men know to seduce women though words and conversation and nice gestures. That's much sexier than when a man uses muscle.

I like it when people talk s**t. Because if people weren't talking s**t, there would be nothing for me to come back with. I need that. If I don't have any ammo, what am I going to say?

Freedom is like taking a bath: You got to keep doing it every day.

I try to tell one lie in every interview. It keeps people I know amused when they read the article.

Peace is the alternative to war, and nonviolence should be seen as the antidote to violence, not simply as its opposite. Nonviolence is more concerned with saving life than with saving face.

You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

The slowness of one section of the world about adopting the valuable ideas of another section of it is a curious thing and unaccountable.

Go on, fair Science; soon to thee Shall Nature yield her idle boast; Her vulgar lingers formed a tree, But thou hast trained it to a post.

I like thinking of myself as invisible. I find it a very advantageous way to live.
