I love playing women, and I think that this is a throughline to a lot of the characters I've played - they all have this aspect of being wronged. And I think, a lot of the time, the characters are actually wronged by themselves, and they find someone else to blame it on.

Women Time Men

My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard enough.

Work Work Hard Ways

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.

There's a joke that, if you can ride through Texas with somebody, which is 700 miles of just straight, flat freeway riding, then you can be friends with them forever.

You Wit Which

Sarah Corvus in 'Bionic Woman' was one of my favorite characters I've ever played, ever, for reasons that are very similar to Nikki in 'Sexy Evil Genius.' I felt that that show was taken away from me too soon, and I really wanted to dive back into that mind frame again.

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

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.

Would Thing Thin

I fought for a long time on 'Battlestar' to let my hair grow out. It was very frustrating because every single person on the show was changing their hair. It was not fair.

Katee Sackhoff

Time Very Use

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.

'Battlestar' was 22 episodes - 9 to 10 months a year - and we were exhausted. You finish shooting, and the last thing you want to do is go back to work. You want those 3 months off because you're tired - it's a grueling shooting schedule.

Katee Sackhoff

I had a stalker break into my house a couple times. They didn't leave any fingerprints or take anything - I was being followed.

I am a daddy's girl at heart, even though I'm in my 30s.

I have never looked at a child and been so angry that I flipped out.

I hate horror movies, with a passion.

Katee Sackhoff

Movies Wit T

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.

Katee Sackhoff

Use Us Tis

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

Katee Sackhoff

Wear Total T

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.

Katee Sackhoff

Yourself Yours Your

Things that happen in Wyoming are things that wouldn't happen in a big city - we've got bears, we've got a lot of shotguns - in Absaroka County, everybody's got a shotgun in the back of their car!

I know that you can only keep a secret a secret for so long.

I've never really had the opportunity to play something that's a complete departure from me yet.

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

Time Woman Top

I'll work out with my trainer twice a week, and I'll do some Power Pilates and might throw in some yoga. I love to row also. The main thing for me is just to move every single day for 30 minutes to an hour.

Katee Sackhoff

I love playing characters who are multilayered and multidimensional and have a darkness to them, which makes them more realistic and more fun to play.

Katee Sackhoff

My manager has been my manager since I was 17, and he says that he's supposed to be smart for me when I can't do it for myself.

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.

Katee Sackhoff

The fight scenes are pretty easy and come pretty naturally for me, to be honest.

Katee Sackhoff

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

Katee Sackhoff

I read YA novels constantly, so I really want to be in a young adult rom-com, but I worry that I'm aging into the parent role, which is a little scary.

Katee Sackhoff

I absolutely have not spoken to Marvel. It doesn't mean that my team hasn't spoken to Marvel.

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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

Katee Sackhoff

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

Katee Sackhoff

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

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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.

Katee Sackhoff

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.'

Katee Sackhoff

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.'

Katee Sackhoff

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.
