It took a week for me to be able to take the gun apart, put the gun back together, get the ammunition and load, all the while keeping my eyes down the scope, which was something I'd never had to do before.

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

Some of the craziest people I've met, in my life, are some of the most brilliant people I've met. It's almost as if they get bored in their own brain and they have to come up with this craziness to stay interested in life.

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.'

I think I saw "Predator" when I was six. So I knew from a very young age that it wasn't real, but I just loved it.

My mom has always said that you don't know what love is until you've had a child.

People don't realize that I started in musical theater. That's where my roots are.
