We were shooting at Griffith Park when we were doing the picnic scene. I had some speech to make, and I noticed people talking behind the camera, which was very unusual because the "Deep Space Nine" crew was very professional. And I noticed people moving around. It turned out that a rattler had been, like, this far away from me, as we were shooting. And nobody cut and had me move! Colm just got up and got out of the way, they got the kid out of the way, and nobody said word one to me! Can you imagine?
When they offered me the role as a regular on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", I was actually pregnant with my first child and I was also getting ready to do "The Joy Luck Club". So I had to say no to the producers at that point. I wanted to be able to spend time with my husband and with my first child right after he was born. And I did. I really think it worked out well for everyone.
I'm very grateful to the "Star Trek" people because they made it possible for me to participate in a movie that really made a difference to Asian-Americans, and it made a difference in my life as well.
When I leave Los Angeles to do something, that's when I notice how into "Star Trek" and how loyal to the shows' actors the fans are. The fans will notice me on the street and ask me questions about Keiko's personal relationships, especially the female fans. They're very concerned, because they want her to maintain her career. They always talk to me about that. It's very funny.
I adore Colm. We're old friends by now, so that's great. Also, we bicker like a real husband and wife do.
