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

I think Gods wrath and purgatory are the only things keeping me on the straight and narrow. I like the idea of purgatory. Its like a cosmic do-over.

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 believe that if doors don't open, make new doors. So I also have started producing quite a bit of things as well.

Part of what I love about television is that my imagination gets to keep going. It doesn't stop.

This business is hard. People and producers and studios and finance guys get caught up in saying, "Women don't sell movies," or "This person doesn't sell foreign," or "You have to attach guys first," or "People don't want to see women do this." I've heard those things so many times that I've actually heard myself say them, a number of times.

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