Happy Birthday Jeri Ryan!

That's what makes a character interesting from an actor's perspective - the more screwed up, the better.

We haven't done such a great job, so I don't know why God couldn't have started over somewhere else. I don't necessarily believe in aliens coming to the States, and I don't buy into the government cover-up.

I get to pretend I'm flying into space, and hang out with my friends. That's what I do for a living.

I think the more stressful our times get, the more we look for fantasy escapes.

I've loved the escapism of being another person, slipping into another character for a little while.

The whole sex symbol or babe thing doesn't bother me.

It doesn't bother me that Seven has such an overtly sexual presence, because she has no concept of what effect that physical package would have on some male member of the crew. That's what's fun, her innocence.

This was truly guerilla filmmaking. We shot out in the middle of nowhere in a place called Delta Flats, where basically every day was some new minor catastrophe.

West Hollywood is predominantly gay, so every man that came into the grocery store was shopping for his boyfriend.

I had never seen much of Star Trek, or any other science fiction, before I was cast. But Seven's wonderful.

I have no specific ideas in mind of what I will or won't do; it's all about the roles.

I loved working with Eric Close and J T Walsh.

I was always a fan of horror films as a kid.

I was raised all over. Kansas, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky, by the time I was 11.

I would defy people to find a more beautifully developed character than Seven of Nine.

I'm not real impressed with the Star Trek weaponry, I gotta be honest.

I'm not so widely known that I'm going to be pigeonholed.

I've always wanted to do this, so it really is a dream come true.

It might be arrogant to think that we're the only living creations in all of the solar systems that there are. Space is so vast.

It was really a pleasure to play someone who's literally pushed past her breaking point repeatedly.

It's supposed to be entertainment. It's not supposed to be a documentary.

My husband is someone who's in the real world. It's a big help that I don't have both feet in Hollywood.

There is a very large chunk of our population who firmly believe in extraterrestrials.

The costume that I wear on the show is a little snug and doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination. I don't have a problem with it because of the way this character's been written.

I have a lot of fun with guns, especially the M-16, but my favourite is my little .22. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand. I do limit myself to blanks.

Cheating is often more efficient.

Chance is irrelevent. We will succeed.

I am an individual now. You can direct your comments to me.

Impossible is a word humans use far too often.


I am borg. I will adapt.

Live long and prosper!
