Q/A session

June 08, 2007



What is it that you look for in a significant other and with that being said what is the best lesson you have learned when it comes to love and relationships?

Katherine: i think it's so important to like someone as much as love them. and with that, respect and accountability are priceless. those go hand in hand with what i've learned so far.



Does the fans/media's constant focus on your sexuality bother you?

Katherine: i don't notice if it's the constant focus. i don't pay much attention to it.



What were your dreams when you were a kid?

Katherine: i think the beauty of being a kid is living in the moment. my dreams didn't go beyond the excitement of riding my bike or eating a good dinner.



I am a big fan of Shane and I think you do a wonderful job. As a forty something lesbian in Northeast PA I find the characters in the L Word a bit unbelievable. I have an extended group of friends, all of whom chose different career paths, but none of whom have film companies fighting over their stories, or are posing for Hugo Boss, or are radio DJs or multimillionaires. I would appreciate the show more if it were more realistic. Do you think the characters accurately portray real life lesbians?

Katherine: it's not the show's responsibility to portray everyone. i do think that regardless of their lifestyle, there is a spectrum of personality and emotion for these characters' situations. and that is what is relatable. it's television and entertainment, what do you expect?



If you weren't on The L Word, do you think you would watch it?

Katherine: i'm sure i would. and then i'd be annoyed that i didn't audition for it.
