Johnathan Frakes Quotations

To get that script as my first movie was just amazing.

I don't think there's any reason to be an actor unless you feel deep in your soul that you have to be, because it's not a career that one can count on working in or making a living at.

Ironically, I had virtually no interest in science fiction.

Not that a B.F.A. in theater arts has been the most useful degree one could ever acquire.

It's a real Star Trek script. It feels like real sci-fi.

In the theater, we were sort of happy to do what we could get.

It took me a long time to get off the Enterprise, but I finally did.

The last script was so wonderful and the story was so exciting. The film itself did so well and, frankly, it made so much money-it kind of reinvigorated the whole franchise.

I get an inordinate amount of, diplomatically, let's say odd, mail and scripts and treatments and story ideas and theories and theorems.

When I was just acting on the show, I learned my lines, went to sleep, then woke up and went to work. Now it's sort of become an obsession. I like the success. I'm thrilled with the way things have gone-but my life was simpler 10 years ago.
