I was addicted to the original 'Star Trek' when I was growing up, because of my dad. We grew up in St. Helens, Oregon and we weren't allowed to watch a lot of TV.

As people, right now, we're so over-stimulated in this world that I don't know what I'd do in Wyoming. I really don't know what I'd do. I would probably have a heart attack because I'd be so lonely, and I'd actually have to listen to myself think. That's a terrifying prospect for myself, and I'm sure many other people as well.

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.

Seth Green, he and I are trying to figure out how this all came about. Because we don't remember what came first, the chicken or the egg, no pun intended. But I don't remember what came first, 'Robot Chicken' or our friendship, because we've known each other for so long.

If a character is supposed to be hated, my goal is to make her the most hated person on the show.

As long as people want to see me do this action and sci-fi stuff, it would be wrong of me to deny the fans what they want to see.

The work environment on 'Battlestar Galactica' is unbelievable, and it's something that doesn't come along very often.

You know, I like to think that I'm a really strong, tough person, but I'm not. I'm a very, very needy person. I'm very insecure. I'm very impressionable.

I grew up watching science fiction and action movies. I love it. I absolutely love it!

I'm more of a thriller-horror fan - things that could really happen. I don't like scary movies, the 'Saw' movies scare the crap out of me - I think I've seen two of them and I wanted to go crawl in a hole.

Science fiction fans are awesome - they love you so much that they'll watch anything you do, even if it's complete crap. I never dreamed that I would go to conventions and sit down and have coffee with a Klingon. It's so weird, but it's my life.

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

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.

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

I am tired of women playing action heroes like men, because they are not men. But sometimes they are written like men.

Some of the craziest people I've met, in my life, are some of the most brilliant people I've met.

I think every character I play has a physicality to them, so I have to stay in some sort of shape. I'll never be a size two. And I don't want to be a size two.

It's interesting, the things you learn when you're 21. I learned never to get tattoos in the middle of shooting a movie. Because if you're not Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox, they will fire you.

I think God's wrath and purgatory are the only things keeping me on the straight and narrow. I like the idea of purgatory. It's 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 famously had a huge television producer say to me one time, 'Can you please stop doing that to your face? It's very distracting and unattractive.' And I was like, 'You mean move it? Okay, sorry, I guess we're not going to work together.'

I'm a bit insane when it comes to doing my own stunts and getting down and dirty. It's fun, you know? It's things I wouldn't normally do in my real life, so when I go to work and get to beat people up and shoot guns and get waterboarded, those are things I find completely interesting.

I'd never put all my chips anywhere, because I don't want to close any doors, but I was raised in a very blue-collar family. I was raised by parents who said, 'If you don't go to work every day, you're not contributing', so that's my mentality. I have to work every day; I have to bring home a paycheck.

No one has approached me about Captain Marvel. But I don't know if I'd even want to play Captain Marvel. I would much rather play a villain and be nasty. It's more fun.

I'd love to play Wonder Woman.

I remember auditioning for the Wonder Woman television show and being told that I wasn't the Wonder Woman type, but if I wanted to play the best friend, I could audition for that.

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

I personally have not spoken to Marvel and have no plans to do a movie in the immediate future because, number one, I'm tied up with 'Somnia,' which is a fantastic place to be. It's exactly where I wanted to be.

I would hate for my father to regret all his support that he's given me over the years and be embarrassed by anything I chose to do.

I've got my Peabody and my Saturn awards right next to each other on my mantle, and that is about it, and that is all that matters.

Everyone freaks out because my character is the only one who has shorts on the Galactica. Well, that is because I went and grabbed a pair of pants and scissors and cut them off and gave her shorts.

Michael Hogan is an absolutely brilliant actor, so anytime I get to work with someone of that caliber, I get excited.

'Star Wars' meant everything to me growing up.

'Star Wars' was, I mean, it was the first time I remember seeing three movies that all kind of went together. It was just an amazing final understanding of what a trilogy was.

The sad thing is, I never wanted to be Princess Leia - I always wanted to be Han Solo!

Playing somebody who's still alive is very interesting.

You can't win some people over.

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

I think when you're doing good work, you don't necessarily need to be validated.

As an actor, you put yourself out there. You put yourself in the arena as an easy target.

I'm not very good in crowds, so I usually try to become as small as possible.

I'm always awkward when someone recognizes me.

I don't watch a lot of TV.

I still sleep with my baby blanket.

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

I was planning that whole athletic slide into Stanford rather than actually getting a 1450 on my SATs.

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

I don't think I've ever been haunted by a ghost, but I always joke with my fiance about the house we're living in right now. It seems to have something in it.

It's things I wouldn't normally do in my real life, so when I go to work and get to beat people up and shoot guns and get waterboarded, those are things I find completely interesting.

Basically, as soon as I saw that there was a role available on '24,' I jumped at it, and then when I sat down and talked to them, it seemed to get more interesting and more fun.
