CP: Well, I will say my favorite comment that I get from hardcore fans, and they mean it as a compliment and it is, but it's quite funny when it comes out on their lips, is, [talking quietly, seriously,] 'You know, when we found out you were going to play Capt. Kirk, we were so angry. We were so sad. We were so nervous. But you turned out to be pretty good.' That's the most backhanded compliment of all time.-- Matt Pais
