Katherine McNamara Stuns For Pulse Spikes Magazine

Katherine McNamara is featured in issue 16 of Pulse Spikes magazine. The young actress is featured in the magazine to promote her time on The CW’s Arrow. Highlights from her interview are below.

On receiving her bachelor’s at seventeen: “I had an amazing preschool teacher when I started school. I credit her with everything. She helped me find my love for knowledge. Through her, school became a joyful experience with a sense of discovery. Every time I learned something, I was uncovering something about the world around me. School for me was never a chore, it was something fun. Yes, there are those tasks and projects you don’t want to do, but because I was surrounded by so many of those wonderful experiences, I had a love for it. ”

On her character Mia from Arrow: “Mia has overcome quite a bit. Taking over the legacy of the Green Arrow is next for the hero she’s become. It’s been exciting to see these last few episodes of Arrow because we’ve seen how far she has come and her relationship with her father. Now we get to see the more human side of the fighter she is.”

On her hopes for her career: “I have a list a mile long. One thing I’m really hoping to do is to direct. It’s something I’ve always known I wanted to do, and I know I have something to say in that realm as a storyteller. I shadowed a director on the set of Arrow this year, and it really solidified that part of me, the part that wants to tell stories. I don’t think I’ll ever stop creating characters. I want to play every kind of character. That’s what I love about what I do: I get to be a chameleon. I get to live a million different lives and explore different characters and walks of life. I hope to work in every genre, type of character, and time period. Directing is just another route of storytelling.”
