I think the more stressful our times get, the more we look for fantasy escapes.

I'm not so widely known that I'm going to be pigeonholed.

That's what makes a character interesting from an actor's perspective - the more screwed up, the better.

It's supposed to be entertainment. It's not supposed to be a documentary.

I have a lot of fun with guns, especially the M-16, but my favourite is my little .22. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand. I do limit myself to blanks.

It doesn't bother me that Seven has such an overtly sexual presence, because she has no concept of what effect that physical package would have on some male member of the crew. That's what's fun, her innocence.

I was always a fan of horror films as a kid.

I loved working with Eric Close and J T Walsh.

The costume that I wear on the show is a little snug and doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination. I don't have a problem with it because of the way this character's been written.

It was really a pleasure to play someone who's literally pushed past her breaking point repeatedly.

The entire season, the show had never been aired for more than three weeks. You can't get an audience that way. They would never promo the show for the next week.

I started by looking everything up in a Star Trek dictionary so I knew what I was talking about, but you can't do that because they talk in circles, and half of it doesn't make sense, so you'll just end up driving yourself more insane.

I get to pretend I'm flying into space, and hang out with my friends. That's what I do for a living.

West Hollywood is predominantly gay, so every man that came into the grocery store was shopping for his boyfriend.

I was raised all over. Kansas, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky, by the time I was 11.

This was truly guerilla filmmaking. We shot out in the middle of nowhere in a place called Delta Flats, where basically every day was some new minor catastrophe.

The whole sex symbol or babe thing doesn't bother me.

There is a very large chunk of our population who firmly believe in extraterrestrials.

I had never seen much of Star Trek, or any other science fiction, before I was cast. But Seven's wonderful.

They said that Seven was a former Borg who had been human and had been assimilated. She was regaining her humanity. I had no interest in this character.

I have no specific ideas in mind of what I will or won't do; it's all about the roles.

I'm not seeking out genre films, but this just came my way, and Miramax was good enough to add a role for me because we wanted the chance to work together.

I would defy people to find a more beautifully developed character than Seven of Nine.

I think the more stressful our times get, the more we look for fantasy escapes.

It might be arrogant to think that we're the only living creations in all of the solar systems that there are. Space is so vast.

My husband travels a lot with his job, so we have a lot of frequent flyer miles so we can hop on a plane with no notice. That's a nice luxury and he is very supportive.

My husband is someone who's in the real world. It's a big help that I don't have both feet in Hollywood.

I'm not real impressed with the Star Trek weaponry, I gotta be honest.

I've always wanted to do this, so it really is a dream come true.

My background has been very helpful for this experience. But everyone was so accommodating because they knew it's not the most comfortable position to be the new kid.

We haven't done such a great job, so I don't know why God couldn't have started over somewhere else. I don't necessarily believe in aliens coming to the States, and I don't buy into the government cover-up.

I've loved the escapism of being another person, slipping into another character for a little while.

Cheating is often more efficient.

I think the more stressful our times get the more we look for fantasy escapes.

My interests were in fantasy more than comics growing up.

You can also make explicit certain social problems which, again, would be prejudged or not encountered at all in real life, because people have set up defenses against it. Fantasy allows you to get past defenses.

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.

Fantasy is toxic: the private cruelty and the world war both have their start in the heated brain.

We in this Congress have a choice. The American people have a right to exercise a choice on this issue, as to whether our men and women will continue to fight and die in a war based on deception and fantasy, or to start bringing the troops home.

One fantasy is that I just do a Don Roos movie every year if that's possible. If he'd have me.

I mean, I don't know anything else that I would try to do, but it's a very frustrating thing to do, because you are trying to take what's a fantasy in your head and make it live through the minds of 200 people.

I think sex is very interesting for most people, but I'm interested in sex as a way of communication, I'm not that interested in the fantasy version of a sex scene.

There is no winning or losing, but rather the value is in the experience of imagining yourself as a character in whatever genre you're involved in, whether it's a fantasy game, the Wild West, secret agenst or whatever else. You get to sort of vicariously experience those things.

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.

I think I'll give it up, the fantasy is over, I wanted to play Spiderman, Peter Parker.

Fantasy is the only canvas large enough for me to paint on.

For the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We've had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven't seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.

The idea of it becomes a little freaky if you're dealing with someone who has trouble differentiating between fantasy and reality, but that's a concern no matter what kind of movie you're dealing with.
