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 MulgrewIf we think we have ours and don`t owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.
- Marian Wright EdelmanIt`s a continual problem when you don`t have the lead. There`s always the possibility you`ll get cut; you have no control. If there`s a scene with a character who isn`t the lead and if it threatens the main story or detracts from it in any way, it doesn`t make a difference how good it is. It goes.
- Frederic ForrestThe events of the past month help make clear that the United States must become more energy independent, but we must not let today`s crisis drive us toward oil or gas development that threatens the North Carolina`s coast.
- Carolyn McCormickwho tries to keep the Civil War at bay and his family safe as the battle spreads and threatens their very existence.
- Charlie AndersonWe will distribute it broadly in outdoor-related stores. Here in the Rocky Mountains, that could mean in convenience stores. Whirling disease affects anyone who`s in the water-it threatens their recreation.
- John DuncanThere are no environmental myths to rebut in this debate, ... The overwhelming opposition to this project is coming from informed citizens and public officials who, with eyes wide open, understand that LNG in Fall River threatens the Taunton River, Mount Hope Bay and Narragansett Bay.
- Jane AustinWe make mistakes, we have our faults, and God knows some of us have more than our share, but when danger threatens and duty calls, we go smiling to our own funeral.
- James LarkinEvery day some new fact comes to light - some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction. I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.
- Robert Falcon ScottTerrorism is an evil that threatens all the countries in Europe. Vigorous cooperation in the European Union and worldwide is crucial in order to meet this evil head on.
- Jan Peter BalkenendeOne threatens the innocent who spares the guilty.
- Albert LinHowever, I think the major opposition to ecology has deeper roots than mere economics; ecology threatens widely held values so fundamental that they must be called religious.
- Alex HamiltonAt a time when unbridled greed, malignant aggression, and existence of weapons of mass destruction threatens the survival of humanity, we should seriously consider any avenue that offers some hope.
- Andreas CapellanusIf slavery, limited as it yet is, now threatens to subvert the Constitution, how can we as wise and prudent statesmen, enlarge its boundaries and increase its influence, and thus increase already impending dangers?
- Andrew NorwoodBut Hezbollah now has reared its ugly head in a way that threatens the entire free world. And they want, by their own charter and definition, the destruction of Israel and Christians. That is the truth. That is in their charter.
- Andrew StotzThe Latin American populists like Chavez have a very limited capacity to do anything that threatens substantial harm to our interests, so it`s key in those cases not to overreact.
- Anna ShufordIf a citizen threatens an officer or another citizen with death or imminent bodily harm, an officer has to react. I think our (officer-involved shooting) level is not out of line.
- Annette ZellaWhile thousands are dying in Iraq, here at home our government is waging a new war, a `war on dissent` that threatens to dismantle the constitution and severely challenge our country`s basic democratic principles of free speech and peaceful assembly.
- Atiyyah HendersonThe Likud faction was established before Sharon, and will continue to exist after him, ... It is a faction that chooses its leader, not a leader that chooses a faction. How is it possible to submit to a man who made a joke of the institution of this faction and its decisions, who now threatens that he will not stay in the faction if he loses in a democratic vote,
