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'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.

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.

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.

Bambi has a profound effect on children because it's about losing your mother.

To believe in a just law of cause and effect, carrying with it a punishment or a reward, is to believe in righteousness.

Our estimates suggest that a tax increase of 1 percent of GDP reduces output over the next three years by nearly 3 percent. The effect is highly significant.

The truth is, it's not a great career move to create a readership and then, in effect, abandon them.

I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.

Planets are too dim to be detected with existing equipment, far away, except in these very special circumstances where they're seen by their gravitational effect.

Well, in pharmacology, if the effect is local, it's of course absolutely awkward to use it in any other way than as a local treatment.

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.

The good news was that Enterprise and the newly arrived Yorktown had attacked the Marshall and Gilbert islands. Those attacks had a great effect on morale.

Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.

The Tax Code today is more complicated than ever, and the very people on the Republican side who denounce the Tax Code's complexity are the ones that put together what they now call a convoluted monstrosity. They put it into effect.

If the many allegations made to this date are true, then the burglars who broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate were, in effect, breaking into the home of every citizen.

It would be great to take one city street and turn it into a pedestrian corridor and see what kind of effect it has on the businesses in that area - It's the future I think.

To enlarge or illustrate this power and effect of love is to set a candle in the sun.
