Quotes

Donna Murphy

  • I love any kind of transformation. I want to look in the mirror and not see Donna looking back at me.
  • [on working in Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)] I hadn't seen much of [Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)], so this really was like stepping into a whole new universe. But I feel a sense of honor and responsibility being in it, because I know that the fans of the series and films have such affection for and devotion to all the cast members, and particularly Picard. So I take my seduction of him very seriously.
  • [on Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)] I'm not objective about these projects. Once I'm in it, I'm in it, you know? It'd be interesting for me to see the film again now, in its entirety, because it's been a long time. I've seen pieces of it because, for example, there's a piece on my reel. I'm also highly critical of myself in everything. But I'm trying to remember my response to the film outside of seeing myself. As I'm talking about it, I'm remembering that I was quite pleased with it. I hadn't seen every Star Trek movie. I'd watched several before auditioning and then before filming because I really wanted to understand more about the stories they'd told and the way they told them, and about the characters and the characters' history. I'd also watched some additional episodes from the series. I think Insurrection did what it set out what it was trying to do. There was action, but this one had more, as you said, of a Zen-like quality to it. But that was in keeping with a big piece of the story, so I felt that it served what they set out to do. Now that it was a turnoff to some portion of their fanbase was unfortunate, but I give them credit for trying something different.
