Kate’s Personal Quotes:
"I'd hate to say it, but I'm a blueblood. That's just the way I've been raised."
"There are girls, people in the industry who just kind of flip through magazines and pick out
guys, like, 'I'm gonna date him.' I could never do that. I don’t think being set up works. I'm big into fate."
[On the changes that will follow her life and career after being cast as Lois Lane in Superman Returns]: "I'm ready
for this. I'm just glad my 'breakout' wasn't a gigantic film. I feel solid in myself now."
[Talking about modeling her Lois Lane performance on Katharine Hepburn]: "I watched a lot of Hepburn
to prepare for Lois, particularly 'The Philadelphia Story' and 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'. Hepburn is a great model for how
I see Lois - strong but fragile."
"I'm in love with what I do but it's not the only thing that fulfills me."
"I think probably trying to please too many people. Sometimes I get so caught up in making
other people happy that I just sort of forget about making myself happy and you obviously need to make yourself happy."
"Everybody makes mistakes, including role models, so you should just learn and grow from it.
Even the best role models do screw up and learn from their mistakes, and I think it is just completely unrealistic to say
that role models are perfect. Personally, I think perfection is boring, and secondly, I just think that it's okay to make
mistakes."
"As an only child, you either become a loner or you learn to put yourself out there, which
my parents encouraged."
"I don't really get star-struck, but I do get talent struck. If I meet somebody that I think
is just wildly talented and brilliant, that's when I start getting nervous."
"Of course everybody had their own little thing. My worst thing was ice cream, I was so intense
about that. I insisted that no one touch the Ben & Jerry's Half Baked. If they did, it was a full-out showdown." - On
the experience of living with her co-stars during the filming of Blue Crush
