Personal quotes
"Katie Holmes isn't the girl next door, she's the
girl you only wished you could live near."
-David Letterman on Katie Holmes
"Do
your best, and if they don't like it, s--- on them'"."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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)"
"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)"
"The
sex education courses! (laugh). The teacher explained
to us how to not get pregnant. The best way he gave
to us was "Abstain!" (laugh). At the moment,
we listened to him and after..." (Télé
Star)"
"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."
"[I
got caught] kissing. Like by my parents. It was so horrible.
It's so embarrassing, I'm blushing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My
mother loves to give me pedicures. She pulls out my
feet and makes them feel great."
"I'm
really into my running workout. Running really helps
me clear my head and makes me feel good, especially
when I'm stressed."
"I have
some road rage inside of me. Traffic, especially in
L.A., is a pet peeve of mine."
"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."
"I like
dark hair and eyes. And tall. Someone with an outgoing
personality and a good sense of humor."
"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!"
"One
time I got caught in a rainstorm with somebody, and
we were dancing in the street. It was pretty romantic."
"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."
"We
did date. We fell in love. And I love him and now we
have a friendship, which is nice."
"Our
love relation lasted during all the first season of
Dawson's Creek and part of the second season. We are
since really good friends. So Joshua was my first lover,
I'm not ready to forget him!"
"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."
