Violence against women is the single greatest human rights violation of our generation.

For seven years I did very little theatre, and I have to make up some time.

As the captain, I was going to be having the dominant role in most of the episodes, and that was appealing. I wasn't interested in coming to Hollywood to sit around.

You get all of your neuroses worked out on stage. I haven't actually played very many nice characters, certainly not on stage. It's not a quality that attracts me.

Creating a believable world on the ship was very important, and technically they got better and better and better at showing the ship too.

One of the things that I've come to understand is that as I talk a lot about Picard, what I find is that I'm talking about myself.

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