"Kate is going to come back, she is going to be super-strong again. Everybody is going to want her again because she is that kind of person. She is very professional and beautiful and she is going to be around forever"
About this Quote
There is something almost defiant in how Christensen stacks certainty on certainty: “going to,” “again,” “everybody,” “forever.” In an industry built to pretend women don’t age and careers don’t bend, she refuses the usual euphemisms of a “comeback” and speaks in absolutes. The line isn’t really about Kate as an individual so much as about durability as a brand of beauty - not delicate, not fleeting, not beholden to the churn of trend cycles.
The specific intent reads as protective hype, the kind friends and peers offer when the public narrative threatens to curdle into pity or dismissal. “Super-strong again” nods to struggle without naming it, keeping the details off-limits while still signaling resilience. That vagueness is strategic: it invites empathy but blocks voyeurism. Then comes the sharper move: “Everybody is going to want her again.” Want, not respect. Christensen doesn’t sanitize the fashion machine; she quotes its appetite back at itself, implying that desirability is both the currency and the trap.
Calling Kate “very professional and beautiful” is industry shorthand that does real work. Professional means dependable, bankable, easy to cast; beautiful means the camera still agrees. Put together, it’s a rebuttal to the unspoken fear that once you’re seen as “damaged” or “past,” the doors close. “Around forever” is the fairy tale, delivered with enough insistence to sound like a spell - a friend trying to will permanence into a system designed for replacement.
