I love playing these characters that are crazy tough, though. Because I am not in real life. Not at all.

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.

An old head upon young shoulders.

When I watch Mad Men and I see the patronising attitudes to women that are so shocking for all of us to watch now, I feel that I've lived and see the same evolution in this regard around disability.

I was a bit of a big mouth my whole life. I'm a person who expresses themselves with a lot of openness

Billy [Corgan] and I used to spend quite a lot of time together in Los Angeles, when I first moved there.

We all make mistakes, some bigger than others, but none of us is perfect.

To me, the sea is like a person - like a child that I've known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I'm out there.

I need time to develop the idea into a plot before I talk about it.

I have my dream job! As a young person training as an actor, walking on the WB studio lot is a dream in itself.

I am looking forward to being part of the E! team. This unique opportunity allows my company to take the next step in providing multimedia content.

Like all of my fictions, 'Sinner' is a mirror. Look into it and you will find yourself. What you do with what you see is your choice.
