Features

SuicideGirls.com posted a new interview with Star Trek star Zachary Quinto, the new Spock, and here are few excerpts.

Q: What was the first day on the set of Star Trek like knowing the history of that and getting to be a part of that?

ZQ: The experience evolved for me in so many different phases and each one of them is it's own unique lessons and it's own unique challenges and they're very common sort of rewards so I'm very grateful for all of it and I'm really excited to see where it leads me from here.

Q: What advice did Leonard Nimoy give you about playing Spock?

ZQ: I think getting to know him was one of the greatest honors of this experience. Having him involved and having him available and supportive was great. I have the utmost respect for him as a person. I feel really so honored to know him. We had many conversations and he's given me not just one nugget of advice, but it's been the unfolding of a friendship and a support system. That's really how I feel about it.

Q: Did he specifically influence your performance?

ZQ: I really felt like my relationship to the character was specific to the text that I was playing and to the world in which the character is being created right now, this time. I didn't feel beholden to Leonard other than the origins of what he created obviously, but I think the whole project was based in that philosophy. So it wasn't a problem.

Q: J.J. commented about what a great job you did on Star Trek, adding things he didn't even notice until post-production. Do you know what he was referring to?

ZQ: I think as an actor we're sort of oriented towards our character's journey. As a director you're looking at the whole picture and so in a lot of ways my relationship to the character was more specific on a day to day basis than his was and now his is more specific since he's in the editing room looking at it and piecing it all together. So I think that's sort of where that line is.

The full interview, in which Quinto talks more about Star Trek and Heroes, can be found here.
