2007 - "More happens this year than has happened at any time in the past. We have indications of feelings between them that they can’t acknowledge and they kind of deny that and got he other way and go almost whole hog and become an item. One of them can’t deal with that and goes entirely the other way and gets married and now she can’t even deal with being married. Inside of both of their marriages is the idea that they should still be together and there’s a ton going on where you see the depth of feeling between them and also the fear about actually giving into the genuine feelings and Kara [Starbuck] can’t quite do it. It doesn’t really happen as a result and it’s just this combination of illicit infatuation. It is a fatal attraction. I think Lee has grown to a point where there is no reason why he can’t have what he wants and he really can’t get over how beat up she [Starbuck] is and how she can’t allow herself to get that level of intimacy."
circa Season 4 - "The way I play it is that there’s a complete fascination from Lee towards Starbuck/Kara, and he will never shake it. It’s not something that’s ever going to go away. It’s something that is so complex and so laden with so many layers of forbidden guilt from the previous betrayal, you know, the dead brother, and they’re kind of siblings, it’s almost incestuous. At times, it seems, certainly on her part, that she’s out to hurt rather than let everything actually work. I think they’re two people that actually probably would’ve worked in a completely different environment, in a different context. They’re doomed by the very proximity that they share, and that’s their tragedy. Having said that, Ron and the writers could come up with a completely different plan on how to resolve that particular one, and who knows, if their situation changes if they got off Galactica, got out of the situation that they’re in, maybe they would be able to function. It’s definitely one of these tragic relationships. Romeo and Juliet, all those sort of forbidden loves. Or a play that I’ve done about an incestuous love affair between a brother and a sister. It’s kind of that. It’s so intense, it’s forbidden."
And from a con report prepared by proggrrl - Jamie apparently did actually once say that Lee and Kara were each other's "halves" and that Lee doesn't grieve openly for Kara post-Maelstrom because he's not her husband and feels he doesn't have the right, and feels that he sent her to her death (and agreed with a fan that it was like Kara sending Zak to his death).
post-finale - "We all belong to each other and physical proximity isn't the most important thing to all that. I don't think there's really the implication... Kara is one thing, she and Lee are intertwined. I think that's the message in the end -- that the people that meant a lot to you, that guided you in many ways within you, and they don't have to be necessarily physically beside you."
Bonus Katee, during a livechat post-S3 - "Sam and Kara will always love each other but I think it's over. Kara and Lee. I do believe they are soulmates."
Katee, post-finale - "But I think that Apollo and Starbuck are soulmates. I really do. ...[ ].....And Apollo is the one who has her heart fully."
Katee, c. miniseries :"Have you seen Jamie Bamber? He’s gorgeous. They are still buddy-buddy pilots and I think that’s the base of our friendship. We grew up together, I’ve got his back, he’s got mine – we fly together, we’re just great friends. At the beginning of the mini-series. we haven’t seen each other for two years. You sort of see Starbuck’s guard come down – and you can see how, if we do go to series, there will be a romantic thing there. But I don’t know where the writers and the producers want to go with that."
