point in their lives that we meet them. I was drawn to the character
elements of the story rather than the international success of the
franchise." - Zachary Quinto |

"It’s very comforting for me to be a producer on this movie, just be
involved in the story. I’d be very nervous to actually write that

"It
was really surreal. It was great when I heard about it, but when I
went for the make-up and costume fittings and you see Zachary [Quinto]
dressed as Spock and you walk down the hallway and there is Zoe
[Saldana] as Uhura and everyone is hanging out in their Star Trek
costumes and you are like ‘oh ya this is completely normal…this is
how everyone spends their day…with fake ears and shaved eyebrows and
weird costumes." - Sonita Henry |

"It
was really great to be offered a part in Star Trek and a thrill to
work with JJ Abrams who is an absolute class act. I must say that
after I wrapped my first day on the set of Star Trek, I called my
agent in Vancouver to tell her what a terrific experience it was.
I’m sure the fans are going to be in for one heck of a ride."
