Interview quotes about Skate

I try to analyze the situation as realistically as possible and I can only see Kate and Sawyer growing closer from what's happened." If Sawyer gets back to the island, they should have a new sense of value in each other. They say if you love something, let it go, and then see what happens from there. Not only did they break physically, but they really broke ties emotionally before Sawyer left. You see them both gazing out across the beach, looking for each other, so they clearly play a significant part in each other's lives.I also think that what Sawyer gives to Kate is a sense of normalcy and mutuality.When she is around Sawyer, suddenly who she is doesn't have to be hidden and I think she's less ashamed of it. I think she is more able to say, "This is who I am. Take it or leave it,buddy!'' That's a real gift. In real life, usually the people we feel the most in love with and attracted to are the people that allow us to be ourselves- faults and all.

I have fans write and say, "I hope you get together with Jack" and others who say, "I hope you get together with Sawyer." I'm torn for Kate too. Right now I think Kate should be with Sawyer, because they are on an equal playing ground - they understand each other, they relate to each other and neither has the upper hand. So far Jack always has the upper hand because Kate is always screwing up. He's always taking the higher moral ground, which for me makes for an unbalanced relationship.

Evangeline Lilly on Dreamwatch interview

 

"Viewers will have a chance to see the softer side of Sawyer as his romance with Kate continues to heat up ( look for clothes to be shed when the two take a swim in the January 5 episode). "He generally cares [for her]," Holloway says. "She triggers something in him that's vulnerable." once again Holloway finds himself drawing on his own experiences for inspiration: "Kate very much reminds me of someone I loved once in real life."

Josh Holloway on TV Guide

 

They aren't officially a couple, but Lost's Sawyer and Kate generate a ton of heat with their spark-filled love/hate attitudes. This unbeatable romantic tension will have to be addressed sooner or later ? the island isn't that big. And after the thieving Kate gave the tortured troublemaker one of the hottest kisses of all time, another may send an S.O.S. to Sawyer's heart.

Dominic Monahgan: They have a nice chemistry!
Damon Lindelof: Yes.

"The Moth" Commentary

 

"How could anyone choose?" Evangeline Lilly tells me. But she does have an opinion for her alter ego, Kate. "Honestly, I think that I have to say sometimes I feel like Kate is a better match for Sawyer, because they've got a lot in common. I mean, Jack's almost like Kate's hero, whereas Sawyer's like her equal. They're kind of just these sparring partners, and Jack is like someone she almost idolizes and that, to me, is not the kind of relationship I'd want to be in. I don't know about you, but I don't wanna worship the guy that I'm with. I wanna kind of play around with him and be on equal terms with him, so I'm gonna have to go with Sawyer... for now!"

Kristin Veitch - E!Online

 

I think at this point, Kate's not ready for the likes of Jack. I think she's a few steps behind. I think she's really enamored by him, idolizes him and I think there's a part that thinks 'well, when you're in a relationship, should you not be more equal?' and I think Kate and Sawyer tend to be more mutual. The fact that she tackles him to the ground over a case shows she's on equal footing with Sawyer

Who will Kate end up with?
"I think if Kate can conquer her demons, it would be beautiful to see her and Jack together", said Lilly. "He's been so kind to her and he's really supported her. But I think she has a long way to go until she can be in a relationship with Jack. He seems to be so much more sure of himself. He has so much of the hero in him. He looks at her with big brother or daddy eyes. And I don't think that's what makes a romantic relationship".
However, the sexual tension between Kate and Sawyer is much rawer.
"They're at the same level at this point", she said. "She treats him like she doesn't give a flying bleep about what he think's and he treats her completely as an equal. There not afraid to go head to head, and I think that's what you need in a relationship".
Not that Lilly has any idea who Kate will finally shed her skivves for. "After a year and a half of doing this", she said, "I have eased into the comfort of ignorance. I just roll with the punches and take it as it goes".

Evangeline Lilly

 

No doubt fans are eagerly anticipating Sawyer and Kate locking lips again but will his absence truly have made their hearts grow fonder? "I don't know how reuniting with Kate will strengthen or weaken their relationship," reports Holloway. "It is yet to be discovered. However, their current relationship definitely is motivating his will to survive."

Kate & Sawyer hook-up on Lost: I don't care that it's on during the family hour, this show needs some sex! Kate's make-out session with Jack didn't cut it. I'll even choose a location: the shower. Or the waterfall. Or the beach. Or the black ship. Or...

It's over. Just like Ross and Rachel were over. And Dave and Maddie were over. And Han and Leia were over. And Rick and Ilsa were over. And Antony and Cleopatra were over.

Javi - "The Fuselage"

 

There's no major love scene yet, but it's definitely heading in that direction. He's got an in with Kate right now because he's been injured, so don't think he's not gonna work that angle. He's definitely using the "poor me" thing. It's heating up, which is good. Sawyer's got needs. He hasn't gotten any action since he's been on the island.

Josh Holloway on TV Guide

 

People honestly care whether Kate and Sawyer get together? Really? I hadn't heard. Oh, except for the time my own mother called me during the middle of "THE OTHER 48 DAYS" and told me, "If you kill Sawyer before he gets together with Kate I will come down to your house and spank you like you were 4 years old." But other than that... Stay tuned, we know you all are dying to find out what happens. Trust me.

Matt Raggs - "The Fuselage"

 

How does Sawyer choose nicknames?
"That depends on whether or not he likes you," Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof says. "He is inclined to nickname you based on the way that you look. He is sort of the ugly part of us that says the things we may be thinking but are afraid to say. The only endearing name he has for anyone is Kate."

USA Today

 

What's your favorite part about doing the show?
"One of my favorite things has been the development of Sawyer's relationship with Kate, which has been such a cat-and-mouse thing. I'm a man and I love to work with a woman. I love the energy between men and women and I try to play with that."

Josh Holloway - TV Guide

 

There is one man in her life who she is happy to talk about. If you don't want to be spoiled for saucy goings-on in the second series, turn the page now. Because it seems the love triangle between Kate, Jack and Sawyer becomes more of a straight line, leading directly to the lips of that long, cold drink of Texan water. It's a line that Evangeline doesn't mind walking.
"Sawyer makes so much more sense than Jack because Kate is Jack's inferior in so many ways', she nods emphatically. 'Jack is so righteously superior compared to her and that's not attractive. She and Sawyer are on a level. They get each other. They might get each other in a depraved, wild way, but at least it's parallel"

Evangeline Lilly - Elle UK

 

Sawyer, meanwhile, is dealing with the aftereffects of having a semi-functional soul. He's pretty crushed over the death of Ana Lucia, his onetime roll-in-the-hay. Heck, he's so upset, he'll turn to Jack, the man he suspects of ''netting'' his true love Kate in the woods. (Jack, clearly enjoying himself, is doing little to disabuse Sawyer of that suspicion.) But maybe it takes a little grief to clear the head: Congrats, Sawyer, for being the first to point out that Sayid is the only castaway with actual military experience and might therefore be useful in a fight.

Entertainment Weekly

 
Evi: "Now this scene was great in that there was - I think Paul you left a lot open, you left me with a lot of freedom to play, play with the scene and try out whatever I needed to do."
Evi: "Sawyer had to pee so bad here - Just use it Josh, just use it."
Man: "I actually wanted to do this (scene) in a wide shot, they wouldn't let me."
Evi: "I dunno, I think wide would of worked, that way people could of looked at Sawyer?s body the whole time."

"What Kate Did" Commentary - Scene when Sawyer wakes up

 

"And concerning the relationship between these two people, I believe that Jack is attracted to Kate, but he knows deep down that she'll never be what he needs, that she'll never play the part, and that all things considered, she's much more attracted to someone like Sawyer."

Damon Lindelof

 

"I keep calling the writers of the show, asking when things between Kate and Sawyer are gonna happen!"

Evangeline Lilly - Elle Brasil

 

"Sawyer lives as a selfish person, he doesn't care about anyone, except for Kate, with whom he is secretly in love"

Josh Holloway - Idols

 

"There always has been. You know, maybe they'll finally heat up to something. I'm ready... I'm ready for something to be resolved or at least ignited. You know, something has to happen."

Josh Holloway -Season 2 DVD Release Pary

 
"After Ana's arrival, it's not just a love triangle between Jack, Kate and Sawyer but it's a real quadrangle, but as soon as Sawyer comes back, very sick because he's wounded and the infection caused by it, Kate completely falls for him. She's going to take care of him in the bunker for days until he gets better. At this moment she chooses Sawyer rather than Jack!"
