❝I feel like it’s one of those things that hits me in waves. When the new trailer dropped, I was like, “Oh, my gosh, it’s really happening.” Because when you’re there on the set, it looks awesome. There are times when I’ve walked onto a set and it’s like, that is the bridge, and that’s really exciting. But I think it’s one of those things where I show up to tell the story, and I do the scene, and I live through it, and it’s really been wonderful. And then maybe in retrospect, I’m like, “I just did that as a Klingon.” And I really do feel that we are paying so much respect for what is from before, but we’re really taking it to another level. As we hope. That is the message of Star Trek, too, is that progress is infinite, and that we never stop growing and changing, and I think so many of the themes that have always existed are just getting to be even more prominently explored.❞
