One of the things that I've come to understand is that as I talk a lot about Picard, what I find is that I'm talking about myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I certainly wanted to maintain some sense of mystery about Picard and that's why we never allowed certain situations to fully evolve, like the relationship between Picard and Beverly Crusher.
I've always been fascinated by the picaresque.
I see pictures of myself and I always knew that what I was feeling didn't look like that guy in the pictures.
My image is me. I talk for myself. I didn't become this person others wanted me to be.
I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.
No, I never thought about my image. It interests me that there are people who do, that they seem to be methodical about it.
Every person has a different view of another person's image. That's all perception. The character of a man, the integrity, that's who you are.
I know very well the difference between my image and who I am.
I can always see something of myself in the characters I play.
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
