Terry Pratchett

Science, Real, Enough

Patrick Stewart

Work, Car, Hard

Crazy, Fun, Simple

Noam Chomsky

Freedom, Society, Justice

Understand, Order, Hill

I came face-to-face with a gorilla which was quite good, but it was a 10-hour trek in bad weather, up hills, covered in mud, with mosquitoes everywhere and when we got there the gorilla's just sat there doing nowt.
Karl Pilkington

James Wolcott

Future, Everything, Once

I've often reflected on this in the past weeks as I've been following the presidential campaign: Very often, I thought it would have been great for both of these guys to sit down and be force-fed a couple of dozen episodes of Star Trek.
Patrick Stewart

'Star Trek' was always a little bit closed emotionally. I never connected to the characters.
J. J. Abrams

Star, Bit, Characters

One of my favorite things about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality.
J. J. Abrams

Humor, Reality, Between

Patrick Stewart

Business, Next, Books

Patrick Stewart

Life, Nothing, Else

Patrick Stewart

Big, Around, Used

The truth of the matter is, all of those guys on Star Trek: The Next Generation actually want to be me. These impersonations they do are just some way of trying to feel what it must be like to be me. And I understand that! Because it feels really good to be Patrick Stewart!
Patrick Stewart

Good, Truth, Trying

It wasn't until the first season ended that I went to my first Star Trek convention. It was in Denver. There were two and a half thousand people there.

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role.

Patrick Stewart

Success, Career, Film

I don't think I'm the world's most die-hard sci-fi fan, but I definitely grew up watching 'Star Trek' religiously - all of them: the original, 'Next Generation,' 'Deep Space Nine,' 'Voyager.'

Olivia Thirlby

Important, Deep, Why
