Your take on your character:

"Because I am playing a stupid bitch"....was said at least 100 times when we were filming. Kate is one of those characters that is so spineless and dependant on people that it is really hard to find something that you like about her. Simply, she is a wreck. But she is the only person who really seems to know Thomas and the only one (other than Lisa) that has not screwed Thomas over in the past. I would have to say that I am the complete opposite of who Kate is and what she represents, but there were some moments when I couldn't help feeling sorry for her, because sometime all of us can be stupid bitches, whether we want to admit it or not.

Worst reason you stopped talking to someone:

Lets see... the worst reason I stopped talking to someone was in seventh grade when all of that psycho-drama occurs and girls would do anything to be part of the "in crowd". I was told by the head girl, the coolest of the cool, I suppose, to stop talking to my best friend Lauren and then I could finally achieve the impossible: I would be cool. So I did, like any mindless seventh grade girl, I guess you could say I was pulling a 'Kate'. I became popular, but I had never felt so terrible in all of my life, plus the head girl turned out to be the devil incarnate, and she tortured me for the rest of junior high. My senior year though, while on a class field trip, I saw Lauren and apologized for being such a jerk all those years back, we never were really friends again after all of it, but I am glad that I got the chance to say I'm sorry to her, she was a great best friend and I will always remember her as such. I would have to say that is probably the thing I am most ashamed of, because friends are easy to find, but best friends are few and far between.
