I’m truly enjoying all these interviews that are coming out as Patrick Stewart goes around on the promotion circuit.

I actually heard this on the radio yesterday on the way home and it was a great interview. Makes me want to watch the next generation again

As if I needed an excuse.

I hear ya! I am typically not one to rewatch much, simply because my list of new things is quite large.

In a sense, we were ministers. And I have heard now so many times from individuals who have been honest enough and brave enough to tell me aspects of their life, of their health, of their mental health. And how it was all saved and improved by watching every week.

Martin: How did that sit with you? That’s an awful lot of responsibility to be that. I mean, you’re an actor in a show and people ascribe to you this wisdom, you’re a moral compass for them.

Stewart: I was proud of it and what we did.

Damn straight! What a weird question.
