    I've loved Kate for so many years, but now I adore her. She's a geek, a nerd, someone who's curious and fascinated by nature in all its glory and ugliness. And a budding carpenter, to boot. I think we'd have been good friends back in Middle School.

    The kids never say 'no' when you try to put a hissing cockroach on them. They say they're ready, and they freak out the second it moves, fling it to the ground, and run off into the big cat area, where the cats suddenly start thinking about lunch.

    But 'just' acting in some movie or series would be fine also I guess :)
