“She is in love with him. And throughout this season I’m looking for moments for that to shine. I’ve also looked for private moments, as an actor, where Castle might not be looking but she can at least show her feelings” - Stana Katic
INTERVIEWER: You know, we’ve got four extremely strong characters on this show. There are no weak female leads. Is that refreshing to play?
STANA: A strong female lead?
INTERVIEWER: Yeah.
STANA: Yeah, I can’t imagine a woman being otherwise.

I think they’re just about at the point of being together, which I can’t wait for, I think they’re perfect for each other. I think Beckett enjoys Castle’s sense of humor, obviously. He keeps things creative, and light, and he keeps her out of her head. And um, he’s inspiring for her, because he is almost the embodiment of this other side of her, which is you know, this kind of youthful and energetic person, that decided to change because of events in her past, but it’s all there in her. And you see it, I see it at least when the two of them are doing that kind of verbal foreplay, when they’re figuring out, solving a case together, and they jump in on each others lines, and feed each other information, and they get really high on solving a case together, but that’s that excitement that they both share. I think also for Beckett, he’s a great father, he’s a great son, he’s a caring man, you know. And I think in the end it comes down to finding someone who can be your true friend, and who will stand by you no matter what happens out there. And lord knows Castle’s been there for some crazy events in Beckett’s life, right.. apartment exploding, sniper shot, things like that! I don’t know. I’d say he’s true blue, but anyway.
Acting was always the focus. It’s weird, I was asked as a little kid by parents’ friends, ‘What do you want to do when you grow up?’ I think I was four years old, and I said, ‘I want to be an actress.’ I always knew.
The bond between us was there from the start. It’s indescribable and even less possible to be faked or copied. —Stana Katic
