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 faith sometimes burdens me with the responsibility to think very deeply and long and hard about the choices I make creatively. There are projects I turn down because the material is too much a violation of what I believe. But that's true of anybody.

Income inequality is troubling because, among other things, it means that many people in our society don't have the opportunities to advance themselves.

We all fantasize about work that uses our creativity, is self-directed, happens during the hours we choose, and occurs in an attractively lit setting with fascinating people - you know, jobs like women have on TV.

St. Louis is still a special place for me. I still have my home there. I live there in the offseason. I enjoyed playing in front of 40,000 people every day. I tried to do my best to help the organization win. I had success there. We won two World Series. We went to three. That's something you can't take from me.

As an athlete, you are literally programmed to endure a specific amount of pain.

Make sure you love what you do or it will eat you alive.

Mr. C. Klackner has for sale four etchings etched by myself, at the expense of two years' time & hard work - 'The Life Line,' 'Peril on the Sea,' 'Eight Bells,' 'Mending Tears,' - all of which are very good and should have been put forward long ago, but C. Klackner is waiting for me to die, is my idea of the matter.

Well, I happen to believe all business is female business.

When you're starting off as a young writer, you look at all the stuff that's gone before and the stuff that's influenced you, and you reach the ladle of your imagination into this bubbling stew pot of all of this stuff, and you pour it out. And that's where you start from.

God meets daily needs daily. Not weekly or annually. He will give you what you need when it is needed.

It took the whole of Creation To produce my foot, my each feather: Now I hold Creation in my foot.

In life, there is no such thing as impossible; it's always possible.

Unless confronted by an immediate, visible, or uncomfortable crisis, our nation's tendency is to take the security of the Western Hemisphere for granted.

Pay your utilities, gas and other basic needs before paying on your debts.

You don't have to be a brilliant historian to know that in Europe, messing with countries' borders, messing with their self-determination, their ability to choose their own futures, this is extremely dangerous, and that's why I think it is important to stand up to Putin.
