Bloomberg.com posted an interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart, in which he talks about his production of Macbeth. Stewart also talked to journalist Philip Boroff briefly about Star Trek, the new movie and his friendship with William Shatner. Here are few excerpts from the interview.
Boroff: I was watching the last movie, Star Trek Nemesis last night. Will you reprise the role?
Stewart: I think it's very unlikely they will invite me to. There is a new Star Trek movie, but it's a prequel to the original series. I would certainly consider it, because I love that character.
Boroff: As Jean-Luc Picard, were you doing Pilates or sit- ups? Or was that just part of the role that that captain had fantastic posture?
Stewart: I was trained as a classical stage actor. The outline that you make on the stage has an impact on the audience. And I work out pretty much every day. You have to. Laurence Olivier once said, ``You're going to do the classics, you got to be fit like an athlete.''
Boroff: Did you save any Star Trek memorabilia?
Stewart: I have a small warehouse full of it in L.A. I'm going to do something with it in the near future.
Boroff: Put it up for auction?
Stewart: Something like that.
Boroff: You don't feel any rivalry with William Shatner (Captain Kirk), do you?
Stewart: Bill is one of my dear friends. He's an absolutely stupendous individual and I adore him.
Boroff: Do you joke around?
Stewart: Of course we do. The important thing is not to take it too seriously. I'd been an actor for 27 years before I put on that spacesuit. I'm so grateful for it. It meant when the series ended I had a career that wasn't connected to it that I could return to.
