Nope, I think A Visual Documentary is about as good as you'll find....

In the VH-1 interview, Kate talks about her view of politics. I guess
you could say she was apolitical. I think she says something along the
lines of:

"I look at politics and I don't like what I see. It's doing things
that makes things happen, isn't it, not talking about them."

(or something like that).

Seems like an eminently sensible opinion to me.
