Katherine Quotes

“When it comes to girls (and in Colin's case, it so often did), everyone has a type. Colin Singleton's type was not physical but linguistic: he liked Katherines. And not Katies or Kats or Kitties or Cathys or Rynns or Trinas or Kays or Kates or, god forbid, Catherines. K-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E. He had dated 19 girls. All of them had been named Katherine. And all of them- every single solitary one- had dumped him.”
― John Green, An Abundance of Katherines

I sit up. "Am I?"

“Kevin Williamson: I said, 'That's the show. We have to constantly keep defying the expectation of what's going to happen.' Once we'd figured out that he'd come to get Katherine and that he had a greater agenda, once I wrote that line 'That's for me to know and you to dot dot dot,' I was like, okay, that's his journey. He's the dot dot dot. That dot dot dot became so important.”

“Julie Plec: She's staring up longingly and you realize this is a character that wants something, that needs something emotionally. She is being driven by a deeply personal want here, and that sort of became the rule on the show that if you have a villain, the villain has to be the hero of their own story, they have to have a deeply personal rooting interest. That's the moment where I fell in love with Katherine as a hero of her own story. I had so much empathy for her in that moment.”
