KATIE ON...
Career advice from her
father: "My dad always says, 'Do your best, and if
they don't like it, s--- on them'". (Entertainment Weekly)
Work habits: "I
like doing day shoots better than night getting up
early and getting home around 7 p.m. Night shoots are fun
once in a while because you bond in weird ways. You're totally
out of it, and you start talking about the weirdest things."
(Entertainment Weekly)
Her weirdest career moment:
"My favorite movie when I was growing up was Pretty in
Pink, and I just worked with Molly Ringwald [on Killing Mrs.
Tingle]. I was totally starstruck the whole time. It was bizarre
having lunch with her. I told her I was a big fan, and she
was like, 'Oh, thanks,' probably thinking the whole time,
You're such a freak." (Entertainment Weekly)
Her nude scene in The Gift:
"It was a difficult, intimidating thing for me to
do. But let's just say it was an interesting experience and
the nudity wasn't gratuitous." (Twist)
Thoughts On Fans: "It's
flattering when 13 year olds come up to me. I was the same
way. I guess I still am
But it's kind of scary when
other 19 year olds look at me funny because they've seen me
on TV. I want to say, 'I'm normal. I'll be your friend. Be
my friend.'" (New York Daily News, 8/6/98)
Bad habits: When it
comes to vices (as in the indulgence of degrading appetites),
Holmes is just looking for a jolt of caffeine and sugar.
"I'm so spoiled I must have a Starbucks vanilla
latte every day. Otherwise, it's going to be a bad day. I
also love Jelly Bellies. But that's bad. Don't tell my mom."
(Entertainment Weekly)
Friends: "My friends
at home are into rap. I'm like, yeah (bobs head), trying to
fit in. They're like, Katie, you're such a nerd. I'm like,
I know I'm a nerd. I never said I was cool. I'm always the
girl that's like, what? What's going on?" (Rolling Stone)
Being a bit of a nerd:
"I really can't deny it, I am who I am. I'm pretty normal.
I'm not that smooth type of girl. I run into things, I trip,
I spill food. I say stupid things...I really don't have it
all together." (Rolling Stone - Austrailia)
Her most embarrassing moments:
"I think tripping alot, like when I'm at a crosswalk
and my ankle gives out or something. It's like, 'Good one
Katie. You can dress her up but you can't take her out.'"
(Twist)
True confession time:
"[I got caught] kissing. Like by my parents. It was so
horrible. It's so embarrassing, I'm blushing." (Twist)
Her living style: "I'm
not the easiest person to live with. I'm kind of a slob. So
for me to consider a roommate, it would have to be one of
my sisters or something." (Seventeen)
Being neat or messy:
"I'm definitely a messy person...I know where everything
is but I just can't organize. I don't make lists and find
scripts on the laundry machine, and under my bed, or in the
bathroom, kitchen. It's bad, I really need to take control."
(Rolling Stone - Austrailia)
The internet generation:
"I'm not computer literate. I e-mail. I know how to get
on the Web, but I haven't crossed over into the internet world.
I'm old-fashioned, I guess." (Twist)
Keeping in shape: "I'm
really into my running workout. Running really helps me clear
my head and makes me feel good, especially when I'm stressed."
(Twist)
Her dark side: "I
have some road rage inside of me. Traffic, especially in L.A.,
is a pet peeve of mine." (Seventeen)
Things she hates: "I
don't like being cold. It gets cold in North Carolina [where
Dawson's Creek shoots]. I just like being a baby, and all
the big crew guys give me their jackets." (Seventeen)
Her fantasy guy: I
like dark hair and eyes. And tall. Someone with an outgoing
personality and a good sense of humor. (16)
Her first kiss: "It
was awkward and nerve-wracking and wonderful all at the same
time," she giggles. "I was so petrified of doing
it. I thought it was something I just couldn't handle. Once
it was, it was okay. Then I wanted more!" (Blush)
Being a good girlfriend:
"I'm easy going as a girlfriend," she says.
"I'll go out for a chat and have some junk food. I think
I can handle the girlfriend part. I can take jokes, and I
don't mind people having fun. I'm also a good listener and
I make a good shoulder to cry on." (Blush)
Her most romantic date:
"One time I got caught in a rainstorm with somebody,
and we were dancing in the street. It was pretty romantic."
(YM)
Dating co-star Joshua Jackson:
"We did date. We fell in love. And I love him and
now we have a friendship, which is nice." (Mademoiselle)
Her relationship with Chris
Klein: "We were set up through friends. I don't want
to say much more about it. Chris is a wonderful person and
I'm very, very happy. It's a really great relationship. We
manage to keep it separate from everything else that is going
on around us." (Twist)

door, she's the girl you only wished you could live near."
"A lovely, refreshing dish of lemon sorbet" (David
Letterman)

Seventeen)

unassuming. I don't think she knows how beautiful she is."
(James Van Der Beek, People)

fall under her spell. She is that rare jewel, the real deal.
In one word: hypnotic, smart, funny, sweet, shy, boisterous,
sneaky, talented, pretty, soulful, sleek, sophisticated, innocent,
naive, comical, womanly, childish, caring, gracious, dependable,
nurturing, protective, generous I could go on." (Kevin
Williamson, YM)
KATIE ON HER SIMILIARITIES
TO JOEY -
"Joey's full of emotions.
I'm like her in that we both say what we feel, but Joey goes
a little further. I wouldn't say a lot of the things she says."
(E!Online)
"I'm actually working
on becoming more like my character. She's so smart and strong
and witty." (US Magazine)
"Joey isn't the girl
who gets all the guys. I wasn't like that, either, so I can
relate." (Seventeen)
"I'm a small-town girl
just like Joey
I was a little bit of a tomboy and also
the youngest in my family, so I thought I knew everything
Like Joey I made a lot of mistakes, but fortunately I haven't
had the tragedy that she's experienced in her life."
(Columbia TriStar)
