In Katee’s Words
“I was addicted to the original “Star Trek” when I was growing up, because of my dad. We grew up in St. Helen, Oregon and we weren’t allowed to watch a lot of TV. I don’t think we even had more than three channels, so it was basically watch “Dynasty” with my mom, watch “Star Trek” with my dad, or watch the mating rituals of beavers on OPB [Oregon Public Broadcasting]. So my brother and I watched “Star Trek.”
“(in response to Dirk Benedict, the original “Starbuck,” for his comments about the new series) If you add up the amount of time Dirk Benedict spent playing the character, not the years obviously but the number of episodes, I’m more Starbuck than he is, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.”

“(When refering to her character, Starbuck) She’s all over the place. She’s messed up.”
“Kara Thrace is THE best Viper pilot–ever.”
“I don’t have time to do a web site, and I wouldn’t know what to do, because I’m so bad at computers. I can turn it on, and that’s it.”
“Well, you know. I’m one of those people, losing weight for me is not easy. For one thing, I love food. I really like to eat.”
Julia Houston: How much is it destiny that a gal from the Portland/Seattle area is playing a Starbuck?
Katee: Actually, I’m hoping get free coffee for the rest of my life.
“It forces you to center yourself and be present. I think that anything that helps people be more present in Hollywood is probably a good thing.”

“Every sex scene is always, without a doubt, terribly funny.”
