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

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.

We're gonna try and bring on all the different aspects of horror movie making and bring on guests and show all these old '50's B movies. Not the real corny ones, the real cool ones.

The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.

A win by an unsound combination, however showy, fills me with artistic horror.

You're going through the horror of it, you're going through the isolation of it but you're being empowered by reminding yourself that you're connected to everybody else.

As a small child, I felt in my heart two contradictory feelings, the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.

There is an element of anger among women who've been raped. There's certainly a major element of humiliation. But it really does seem like a medical condition of shock and horror.

Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.

Horror is the natural reaction to the last 5,000 years of history.

This horror of pain is a rather low instinct and... if I think of human beings I've known and of my own life, such as it is, I can't recall any case of pain which didn't, on the whole, enrich life.

Horror does not interest me, and so I know little of its practicioners, old or current.

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.

All of us have our individual curses, something that we are uncomfortable with and something that we have to deal with, like me making horror films, perhaps.

This is an area you always need to address when you're dealing with Dracula is the fact that there is something kind of attractive in his darkness - which there isn't in other horror characters.

I have done some short pieces that are not horror.

I think what sets this one apart is that there are two horror movie icons finally battling each other. You actually see them beat the crap out of each other instead of just terrorizing the kids in the movie.
