Patrick Stewart quotes about
wait
He said I'd have to wait to see what they were,
attraction became close fond good kyle project remained special unlikely
It's always a special attraction for a project if you have someone that you're that fond of working with you. Kyle and I became unlikely good friends and have remained very close over the decades.
chancellor discover frank major schedule sinatra thrilled
We had some very distinguished fans: I know one chancellor of a major university who used to schedule his meetings around Star Trek. We were thrilled to discover that Frank Sinatra was a big fan.
kings people trying
What identifies an individual as a king is how other people behave towards him. All authority is assumed, and if other people don't accept your authority then you don't have it. Perhaps the critical thing to being a convincing figure of authority is actually not to try too hard.
childhood poor violent
I was brought up in a very poor and very violent household. I spent much of my childhood being afraid.
our-generation rights generations
Violence against women is the single greatest human rights violation of our generation,
sentimental canvas absurd
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.
lions captains rooms
Whenever the lion fish in the fish tank in the captain's ready room died it was always a sad moment.
bridges two different
During my time we had two chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, at different times of course, on the bridge, both of whom asked my permission to sit on the captain's chair.
elephants sheep yorkshire
I don't do impersonations. I can do a wounded elephant! I can do a really good cow! And because of the amount of time I spent in North Yorkshire, I do a variety of sheep. All of which I will be happy to roll out for you!
nice character quality
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.
domestic-violence violence
There's no such thing as "just a domestic".
kings irritation years
One day, out of irritation, I said, you know all of those years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, all those years of playing kings and princes and speaking black verse, and bestriding the landscape of England was nothing but a preparation for sitting in the captain's chair of the Enterprise.
good-luck television flukes
I wasn't campaigning for a role in a Hollywood television series, it was a fluke. So you've got to have a measure of good luck, you really have, being in the right place at the right time.
