Katee Sackhoff

“'Somnia' is a story about loss and, I guess, what you're willing to do to have closure and try and feel whole again. It's a story of redemption in a sense. I don't want to give too much away, but it's a heartbreaking story that's incredibly terrifying.”

“I think what we've been able to do with 'Longmire' is balance this procedural with a bit of a soap opera, and it's a character study of this character, Walt Longmire, and the people around him.”

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

“I looked at my parents when I was 17, and I said, 'I'm moving to L.A.'”

“I think that I am lucky and blessed to have the job that I have, and I am trying to create longevity. If that means that I transition into different things at different points in my life, then that's fine. I also believe that if doors don't open, make new doors, so I've also started producing quite a bit of things.”

“I think that probably the time that people stopped thinking of Starbuck as 'a woman' was when they stopped thinking of the old show.”

“People love a good story, even if it's a story that has very little truth to it.”

“I love Harley Quinn. I do. I just love it.”

“I still sleep with my baby blanket.”

“It's crazy: when it's raining, it makes no sense to me that people drive 10 miles an hour faster than they normally would, but then the other thing that makes no sense is when people drive 30 miles an hour slower than normal.”

“I wear high heels and dresses. I am a total girly girl.”

“I get recognized so much. It happens mostly when I'm in Starbucks.”

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

“The Olympics was a goal, and definitely, swimming in college was a goal.”

“It's interesting: I've been doing this since I was 17, and it's kind of weird to see yourself grow up on television.”

“People associate girls with long blonde hair with the girls in 'Clueless' or 'Legally Blonde.' You can't be smart and educated and have an opinion because you are supposed to be stupid.”

“I'm always awkward when someone recognizes me.”

“My goal is to make people feel passionately, if it's negative or positive, I did my job.”

“I've always said that I'll know when I've gone too far because I won't be able to sit down and watch it with my father.”
