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

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.

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

Although Alchemy has now fallen into contempt, and is even considered a thing of the past, the physicain should not be influenced by such judgements.

I do like to drive fast and I have gotten pulled over in the past. I use my skills to get out of tickets.

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past - whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.

The best prophet of the future is the past.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

Philosophy finds it an easy matter to vanquish past and future evils, but the present are commonly too hard for it.

Historians tell the story of the past, novelists the story of the present.

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.

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Terrorism, ladies and gentlemen, in my eyes I have a very, very, very simple explanation. Gangs of criminals, killers, used unfortunately by certain governments in the past for political purposes, who are on their own now as gangs.

In the past 3-4 years I've developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I'm able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis.

By this time it was past six, and the enemy's van and ours were at too great a distance to engage, I perceived some of their ships stretching to the northward; and I imagined they were going to form a new line.

Firms would be given initial entitlements to gross markup on the basis of past performance. These entitlements would be transferable and a market in them would be developed.
