On the best thing about playing a Star Trek captain: I was very excited. I was a huge fan of the original Star Trek, and I’d never even dreamed that I would someday be captain of a starship… I’m a big fan of the future of space programs on this planet, especially if it’s a space program that can proceed in a peaceful fashion, keeping weapons out of space. (September/October 2006, Star Trek Magazine issue #1)

[re his role in The Sapphires (2012) with Aboriginal girl singers] I was really surprised by how similar Aboriginals and Irish people are, like in their mentality, particularly coming from that time [1960s]… I think it’s why the character as an Irish guy works quite well, because we’re all part of the same team.

I remember the worst experience of my life, even above the kidnapping of my father, was shooting Mimic (1997) [del Toro’s first Hollywood feature, in 1997, which was severely compromised by producer interference]. Because what was happening to me and the movie was far more illogical than kidnapping, which is brutal, but at least there are rules. Now when I look at Mimic, what I see is the pain of a deeply flawed creature that could have been so beautiful.

They like to cast me for scary roles. I think it’s because they want you to be scared, but also to like the little girl.

Born: October 8, 1944 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, USA

A great number of the war films I saw, however, didn’t match my own experience… The uniforms were pressed, the guys were clean, and they reacted in such a heroic fashion to life in extremes. No matter what Sir Laurence Olivier had to say, it isn’t just acting when something is so out of your frame of reference. You have to have an idea of what the truth is. Nobody did.

Born: October 8, 1955 in Melbourne, Florida, USA

[on his troubled past] The thing that occurs to me is that abhorrent behavior is not an airborne virus. You don’t get it because you sat on the wrong toilet seat in the subway station. Something has to occur to have caused it. Suddenly I realized I’m not ashamed of this at all. I’ve been knocked down on the canvas a number of times and I’ve never not gotten up.

Born: October 8, 1980 in San Diego, California, USA

Married Mariah Carey 2.5 months after dating her, but they’d been friends since 2005 when he presented her with a Teen Choice Award.

I kind of pattern myself after those entertainers and artists of yesteryear and just say, ‘Hey, I’m blessed that I get to wake up every morning and be creative’. That’s my job, and that’s what people pay me to do, so I love it. Before, if you were a great entertainer, you had to do it all.
