Violence is never ever a choice that a man should make.

Tom Hanks knows the name of all the episodes.

Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.

Encouraging people to believe in it was the most important thing of all. It's one of the reasons I was always uncomfortable whenever film crews came on the set to shoot things. I didn't want our make-believe to be exposed.

I certainly wanted to maintain some sense of mystery about Picard and that's why we never allowed certain situations to fully evolve, like the relationship between Picard and Beverly Crusher.

Whenever the lion fish in the fish tank in the captain's ready room died it was always a sad moment.

I came to feel very, very sentimental about those sets, which is ludicrous, because they represent everything which is transitory and insubstantial. It's absurd that one should feel sentimental about timber and canvas.
