Zitat des Tages von Katee Sackhoff:
The fight scenes are pretty easy and come pretty naturally for me, to be honest.
I love to run, and I actually run quite a bit.
People love a good story, even if it's a story that has very little truth to it.
I've always said that I'll know when I've gone too far because I won't be able to sit down and watch it with my father.
I'm kind of used to being around guys on set, and I grew up with a brother who treated me like I was a boy.
I have never looked at a child and been so angry that I flipped out.
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.
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 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.
I always have said from the beginning of my career that I was going for the 'Geek Trifecta' because I'm such a total geek. I want to be in everything that has to do with the things that I enjoyed when I was a kid, which was 'Battlestar Galactica,' and being in 'Big Bang Theory,' and being in video games.
'Star Wars' meant everything to me growing up.
I love Harley Quinn. I do. I just love it.
I've seen 'Absentia,' which was amazing. I loved 'Absentia.' I loved that for no money, he was able to make a movie about something that you never saw. You never saw the bad guys. That was amazing to me. You never saw what you were supposed to be afraid of; you just knew you were supposed to be afraid of it. It was a phenomenal movie.
Michael Hogan is an absolutely brilliant actor, so anytime I get to work with someone of that caliber, I get excited.
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.
I don't subscribe to the thinking that being typecast is a bad thing.
I am a daddy's girl at heart, even though I'm in my 30s.
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.
I think, as a woman in action in the business, you would be stupid not to express interest. Any female action role that presents itself as an opportunity I would throw myself at!
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.
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.
I grew up as a fan of comic books, and I've been reading them for so long that I've never felt an affinity toward just one.
As an actor, you put yourself out there. You put yourself in the arena as an easy target.
I still sleep with my baby blanket.
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.
I think that probably the time that people stopped thinking of Starbuck as 'a woman' was when they stopped thinking of the old show.
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.
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.
I was planning that whole athletic slide into Stanford rather than actually getting a 1450 on my SATs.
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.
I think when you're doing good work, you don't necessarily need to be validated.
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've never really had the opportunity to play something that's a complete departure from me yet.
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'm a lot girlier than the roles that I play. I joke with Tricia Helfer all the time that she's my muscle.
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.
