Trivia:
* Auditioned for the role of Teena Brandon in Kimberly Pierce's biopic Boys Don't Cry. She lost the role to Hilary Swank who ultimately won an Oscar for her performance, while Kate took the role of Jake Pratt on Young Americans, which led to more than a few in-jokes related to Kate's auditioning for Boys Don't Cry. Ironically, as fate would have it, Kimberly Pierce is reportedly directing an episode of TLW in season three.
* Has a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix named Floyd, who had a walk-on (or, to be more precise, carry-on) role during season two of The L Word (Lynch Pin, ep 2.04).
* Kate was something of a tomboy as a kid, who loved skateboarding with her guy friends.
* According to PlanetOut.com, Kate's also trained in fencing. En garde!
* Kate's '2' tattoo is meant to represent her life number (numerology) and the bird she got after having a dream wherein she got a bird tattoo on her arm... so she did!
* Nicknamed "Scout" by her mother, after literature’s most famous tomboy.
* She was also nicknamed Alt.Gwyn by her friends, because she and her cousin Gwyneth are so unlike one another.
* Her first acting gig was at 10, in a children's theater production of Winnie the Pooh. She played Christopher Robin.
* Performed at the Williamstown Theater Festival, in a small non-speaking role in As You Like It with her cousin Gwyneth Paltrow.
Common questions:
Q: Is Katherine gay in real life?
A: Kate has been asked this question many (manymany *sigh*) times before. However, she always politely declines to comment, saying that her personal life has nothing to do with the work that she does on TLW. Good for her.
Q: Does Kate actually know how to cut people's hair?
A: In a word: no. Kate said it herself: "You'd have to be insane to allow me to cut your hair."
Q: So how do you pronounce her last name?
A: Men-ig.
Q: Middle name?
A: Shawn. Or See-ahn. Or Sharn. Guess it just depends on whereabouts you're from, I suppose.
Q: Katherine?
A: *glare!*
Q: Does Kate ever check out any of the L Word websites?
A: According to Kate herself, thanks to Mel's lovely Q&A sessions: "the only site that i have really inspected is the lwordonline. they usually have more info about the show than i do. i've seen a few others, but i can never remember their names." Hmm. Wonder if she reads the spoilers? lol
Q: You mentioned something about Q&A? Where can I find that?
A: Right here.
Q: So who came up with this whole FAQ thingy?
A: That would be lilpinkchainsaw. And here's a list of contributors: Pame.

Shane quotes of note...
"It has nothing to do with you guys. You know, it's the... it's the new male. Well, the new male is more spiritual than the old male. He seems his sperm as an extension of his inner being, whereas the old male shot into any female without thinking about what would happen. The new male totally cares what becomes of his seed."
"Yeah, you see? That gives me hope, because I love knowing that two people who've been together for so long ... can still make each other that happy."
"Sexuality is fluid, whether you're gay or you're straight or you're bisexual, you just go with the flow."
"I like you, but... I like a lot of people."
"I don't know. You know, when you think about it, what's more boring, right? You get to make endless lists; you bawl your head off and then puke over the side of the boat. Or you get to go home... and you get to sleep with the same person you've been in love with for seven years."
"Hey, look, now that you're out big-time, let's give you a mullet. C'mon, hockey hair! It'd be hot!"
"Look, there's no bigger karmic blessing than doing something entirely selfless for another person."
"It's because Mr. Piddles was gonna inherit Dana's fortune and Tonya murdered him so she could be the next in line, right? Right? Drop it."
"You know... my entire life, people have said that... I would become a psychopath if I didn't learn how to feel, but I wanna know, Cherie, what the fyck is so great about feeling? Because I finally let myself... and I feel like my heart's been completely ripped out."
"I don't have a plan... that's the point."
"I learned early on ... that if you wanna avoid the big mess that sucks and fycks with your life... you just keep it simple."
"And what happens if you touch me...?"
"Oh, you're so awful."
"No! I don't - there are - there are no house rules. There's not! Look, I... I don't like sleepovers. I'm sorry... but I don't."
"I would fyck myself... but I wouldn't date myself."
"Alice: Shane! All right, okay, um, I have to tell you something I'm really kinda not supposed to tell you.
Shane: Fight the urge.
Alice: But... but I can't!
Shane: Try.
Alice: But it's hard!
Shane: I know! But try."
"Bless me father, for I have sinned. It's been... sixteen years... since my last confession."
"I never had a hamster... but I had a dog... and her name was Remy. I... I - have a brother, but... I never met him, because we... never grew up together... and... my mom put me in foster care when I was nine... but I still love her very much."
"Just know that - I'm just saying that you don't have to - you know, you have me, you have other people, you don't have to do this alone. Just... just be careful."

Kate quotes of note...
"I like my hands. Long fingers. Strong. They serve me well."
"All sorts of people come up and congratulate me for being on the show. Inevitably they say, 'You're gay, right?' Why do people care if I'm gay or not? Yes, we're showing a side of certain women that a lot of people haven't seen, but how can we represent a society? We're just a few people. That's not fair."
"I wanted to be a violin-maker like my dad, and then I wanted to be a doorman in my building. I thought if [acting] never works out, maybe I’ll study to be in the F.B.I., or I’ll be a marine biologist or something."
[On being a lesbian icon:] "Well, look at Gina Gershon. That wouldn’t be a terrible thing. I think it’s a matter of what you do with it. You never know how people will respond. That’s why I want to do this, to have people respond to it, to be affected by it. That makes me feel like I’ve done my job."
[On Shane (circa season 1):] "She doesn't care about other people's opinions and that's a very rare quality to have. One who is notorious for sleeping around a lot and not having any problems with it. Even though people consider that cruel... she still has a real solid heart."
"I think we nailed the fact that, yeah, a woman can love a woman, period. They're not crazy for it, they're not wrong for doing that, and they're just another human being... going about their life."
[about The L Word:] "Most projects would end with them being gay and that being it, but this is how they start off and this is how you know them, but then there's all these other sides to them, aside from their sexuality, that make up who they are. So, yeah, in that sense, I think we are ... y'know, the first of its kind, really."
"It's terrifying to think how conservative we are now at this -- I mean, in the year 2004, almost 2005. So, for that reason it's - I think it's so important that these other lifestyles get, really, very addressed head-on. In regards to a tv show where it comes into people's homes each week and people become immersed in it because that's the only way, I think, the public would learn at this point. And maybe it would help the government - or the world in general open its eyes a little bit more to... to see that it is a way of life and it's not so off-the-beaten-track as it once was. I think now is the most important time."
"It's when someone kind of invades your personal space - it's -- you come out, you know, to do these things, you're promoting a show, you're promoting a job that you did to get people interested and invested in it and to promote it. And, of course, you know, there's -- people want to know about who you are in real life, but, of course, like - there's an element of respect when it comes to that. Because... I don't bring my personal life on that screen."
