I'd love to star in a television series of my own. I love the idea of living with a character for a number of years, watching him grow.
Michael DornWhen you're on a series, it's tough to go on and do something else afterward. If you're smart, save your money and you can wait out the bad times, until something else comes along.
Michael DornIt was seriously just a name. They didnโt tell you what to do. They didnโt tell you how they wanted the character to be - nothing. You went in to audition for this character name and that was it. When I started, before I came onto the set, I went to Gene Roddenberry and said: hey, what do you want from this guy? Who is he? And being as smart as he is, he said: donโt listen to what youโve heard or read or seen in the past, nothing. Just make the character your own. And thatโs what I did.

Michael DornRon Moore. He was the guy that on our show and Deep Space Nine wrote the best Klingon episodes. He wrote great episodes in general but he wrote the best Klingon episodes. I always could tell when he was going to write a Klingon episode because he was able to grow a beard really quick and Iโd see him with the beard, like a Worf-beard, and I go "Ah, Klingon episode coming up!" and he goes "Oh yeah."
