Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Aside from the ones below, more quotes are found on the Quips & Quotes thread in the forum.
-
Kate: (on her success at a late age) If this all had happened to me when I was 25, I would have been shaving my head and driving over people's feet.
-
Kate: I've tried everything, and the only diet that ever worked for me was Weight Watchers, which I did a long time ago. I'm a girl who enjoys eating. But I do believe in moderation and portion control. It's all anybody needs! I love chocolate, and just a little bit goes a long way.
-
Kate: (on choosing between McSteamy or McDreamy, her onscreen partners in "Grey's Anatomy") It's like asking 'Which do you like better: chocolate or caramel?' They're so delicious in their own ways. I really love both of them.
-
Kate: I definitely enjoy being a redhead because it's really who I am: a little bit feisty, fun and strong.
-
Kate: At 14, I was fired from Burger King. I had a runny nose and the assistant manager didn't like me!
-
Kate: (on when she got the call about her own spin-off, following her stint on "Grey's Anatomy") Whenever I got a call from Shonda's assistant, I'm like, 'Am I in trouble?' I always assume I'm in trouble - it still feels a little like being called to the principal's office.
-
Kate: (on working out) I was supposed to do Pilates this morning. I got as far as putting the sports bra on. Then I realized there was no way I was about to drive through traffic and go to the gym. No. So I threw my bathrobe on over the bra and read the paper. Sometimes I hope that through osmosis I might get a workout — just by wearing the clothes.
-
Kate: (on hot doctors in real life) There was a chiropractor I had to stop going to because he would take away my pain and he was the most gorgeous man in the world.
-
Kate: (on her teen U2 worshipping years) I was going to be Mrs. Bono. It was all very proper. I loved his music so I loved him. I didn't want to have a torrid love affair, I wanted to marry him.
-
Kate: (whether she'd make a good doctor in real life) I think so. I can fake deliver a baby! I'm kind of a perfectionist and really like to be the best that I can at anything, but I think I'm probably absolutely far too lazy to go through eight or twelve years of medical school.
-
Kate: (comparing herself to her character on "Grey's Anatomy") I identify with Addison's extremes. The black and white she has - being incredibly efficient and professional at her job, then the other face of being a little insecure and competitive.
-
Kate: (on her many lesbian roles) That's the fun thing about being an actress: You get to do things you wouldn't normally do — like be a lesbian…Do I give off a girl-on-girl vibe, I wonder? Or is it because I'm tall? I guess the chicks just dig me!
-
Kate: (on shoes) I probably have, like, 100 pairs of shoes. That's a pretty healthy shoe situation. I keep them in boxes with Polaroids on the front. That's how much of a shoe weirdo I am.
-
Kate: (on "Grey's Anatomy" going against "CSI") Yeah, I was nervous. CSI is a great show--I was in it! But they are two different animals. There's room for both of us. You know, that's why we have the TiVo.
-
Kate: (on people thinking that she's a real doctor) It's probably because I have a bossy personality. I'm a little bit of a control freak. You put on the white coat and you sound like you know what you're talking about.
