On the best and worst part about playing a Star Trek captain: "The best thing was simply the privilege and the challenge of being able to take a shot at the first female captain, transcending stereotypes that I was very familiar with. (I was) able to do that in front of millions of viewers. That was a remarkable experience - and it continues to resonate. The downside of that is also that it continues to resonate, and threatens to eclipse all else in one`s long career if one does not up the ante and stay at it, in a way that may not ordinarily be necessary. I have to work at changing and constantly reinventing myself in a way that probably would not have happened had Star Trek not come along. I knew that going in, and I think that all of the perks attached to this journey have been really inexpressively great. So the negatives are small." (Sept/Oct 2006, Star Trek Magazine issue #1)
- Kate MulgrewIt was always my goal to `up the ante` on good design and rye devoted much of my career to this.
- Michael GravesThis is the place to be for jumpers. Our best-kept secret, now the Europeans have discovered it, I`m very happy to say, because that only ups the ante and makes the competition increasingly better.
