I liked watching their team play, ... I didn`t like losing to them of course, but you always like watching a team like that play.
They`re both such great directors. Ridley, of course, is very visual; he brings a world of visual creativity to the work, as well as great emotional truth and sincerity. And Scorsese is just great as the synapses flash in his mind - you just stand there and try to grab them!
I chose to do this because I am a fan. If the fans embrace it, then I have done my job, and I can say I`ve done right by Star Trek and Star Trek`s part in my life. If they reject what I`ve done, then I`ve made a serious miscalculation about what other fans like me want.
They hit the ball from top to bottom with line drive. We lost, but we didn`t play that bad. It was just a case where the other team was so dominant.

Oh, my God - I am really shaping the destiny of these characters. There`s Patrick as Jean-Luc Picard, and he`s now going to do a scene that I wrote. So that for me was the biggest sort of fan/professional synthesis.
I`d spent 10 years learning my craft, and I`m just a professional writer, and how I`m perceived doesn`t matter to me in the slightest - because I don`t live in L.A., I don`t go to parties, I don`t go to openings - I just keep my head down and do my job.
I never realized that I didn`t practice hard, ... But I guess he`s just trying to get me ready to play.
