But I'm still trying to work out how to operate the air conditioning unit on my car. — Patrick Stewart

I know my place. — Simon Pegg

I've done a couple of fan conventions and [the fans] are legion. They're rather like Star Wars or Star Trek fans.

I quickly said that, because of my loyalty to 'Star Trek' and also just being a fan, I wouldn’t even want to be involved in the next version of those things. I declined any involvement very early on.
