September 2003 - "He's her best friend, her brother, her comrade...he's everything to her and he gets her. That is what is interesting about their relationship."
March 2006 -(question) Why do they keep pulling away from each other when it's obvious they really care about each other?
(Katee) "I think because it is obvious. You know, their world is so chaotic and it's hard to hold onto something that you know is so real and tangible when it could be gone tomorrow. It's almost easier to walk away from it and to have never felt that true love and passion for someone because it gives you something to fight for, and it gives you a reason to wanna live, and as a fighter pilot, you can't have that. You have to be willing to sacrifice everything, including your life. And I think, when you love someone so unconditionally and you know that, it's really hard to go out there and fight the good fight."
about UB - "When I read the flashback scene, I cried. Because it was something that this character would do, and it's something I'm sure a lot of people have done. It goes to show how much she loves Apollo, but how terrified she is of that."
about Maelstrom - "These were like really emotional scenes where I had to not really play the obvious choice. Because like the scene when she’s sitting under the plane with Lee…all she wants to do is tell him that she loves him, and cry, and like that was such an easy choice to play that scene. And the director came up and was like that’s a great scene, Katee, but he’s like, just stare at that dot. Just stare at the dot and see what happens. And it was such a powerful choice because it was this woman going out, she knows she’s going to die, she knew at that point she was going to die, and she wanted his (Lee’s) life to be easier when she was gone. And you can see it, the whole time she’s just like helping him move on and trying to get him to move on and help him think everything’s okay. And it’s such a powerful scene, I thought, that it was challenging, you know I wish I could do stuff like that every week ‘cause I had so much fun."
