She has an older sister, named Adriana, who has worked as a vocal coach on “American Idol” with their mother.

After high school, in 2002 she started attending the Boston Conservatory, but soon decided to leave college and returned to LA to begin her acting career.

Katharine McPhee Quotes
- [Regarding school] If I had spent all that time actually studying and really learning it versus the time I spent planning to cheat, I probably would have done better.
- [I want to be] the Barbra Streisand of this generation. I want to be someone who is remembered as being great at all things.
- On [American Idol (2002)], I was very strategic with my look. I specifically wore very little makeup, did very little with my hair. I wore beat-up jeans and a simple jacket and I covered my body up because I knew that viewers like seeing transformation. As a viewer myself, it was one of those things I looked forward to. It’s like when people watch Dancing with the Stars (2005): They love to see the stars lose weight and start to feel confident. So I wanted to create that story–actually to push the story that I had no idea about fashion–which was not actually true.
- All I know is that when the show [Smash (2012)] started and people were so excited about the pilot, I was excited to finally be a part of something that could showcase me.
- I’m kind of obsessed with the Kardashians.
- For me, with men, I will fixate on something. I’ll say, “I’m obsessed with your chin”. I’ll kiss his chin and munch on it, and I think that makes people feel good.
- [Regarding problems getting her acting career started] Yeah, my thinking was, “I’m going to go on [American Idol (2002)] because that will give me exposure. I’ll be the slightly chubby pretty girl they give a makeover to. I don’t care if I win. I probably won’t”.
- Hillary [Hillary Clinton] is such an advocate for women and stuff like that.
- [on Marilyn Monroe] She got our attention initially, of course, because she was so effortlessly beautiful. We all have a fascination with beautiful women and the struggles they go through in a man’s world.
- I love being a role model. It’s still a man’s world in society. Girls should keep working on themselves.
- When I turned 21, I thought it was a good age to explore. You’re no longer a teenager, so it’s okay [to date older guys]. I gravitated toward them, and I love them. They’re just wiser, and they’re less about themselves and more about you.
- I was prematurely developed, as a freshman, I looked like a junior; I had boobs. Some of the older kids saw me in the yearbook and said I was cute. I came from an all-girl school. I was determined to get a boyfriend!
- We had our first table read last week, and [producer] Adam Sandler was sitting right across from me making faces, I was nervous, [but] I love Adam. I’ve always been a big fan of his movies and that kind of comedy. I met Adam and was like, “This is so crazy!”.
- I want to have, like, 15 babies. I’ve always wanted to be pregnant. One year for Halloween, I decided to be pregnant, so I got this nun costume, and I put a big belly under it. I showed my parents and said I want to go to school as a pregnant nun. My dad sat me down and said, “Katharine, you can’t!”.
- People made a big deal out of [my album cover being racy]. They said, “She’s a slut, blah blah blah”. But I’m really not showing that much skin. It’s all suggested.
- When I made it onto American Idol (2002), I knew that food–my eating disorder–was the one thing really holding me back. I was binging my whole life away for days at a time. So when I got on the show, I said, “You know what? I can do well in this competition. Let me give myself a chance and just get a hold of this thing” . . . That’s why I say “American Idol” saved my life, because if I hadn’t auditioned I don’t think I would have gotten a handle on food.
- [on coming second to Taylor Hicks on American Idol (2002)] I don’t need sad faces or anyone to feel bad for me. I have got a record deal, pretty much. It wasn’t about winning the title, I just wanted to give the best performance I could.
