Quote by Patrick Stewart

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.

Summary

In this quote, the speaker acknowledges their realization that their film career had reached a plateau due to typecasting. "Star Trek" and "X-Men" were immensely successful works the speaker was associated with, which caused directors to view them primarily as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his X-Men character. This limited the speaker's opportunities and prevented them from being considered for diverse roles and projects beyond these iconic characters. The quote highlights the challenges faced by actors who become strongly associated with specific roles, impacting their career trajectory.

It is my right to be uncommon. For I do not choose to be a common man, If I can, I seek opportunity. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the government look after me. I choose to take the calculated risk, to dream, to build, to fail or succeed. I choose not to barter incentive for a dole, I prefer the challenges of life to a guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the state calm of Utopia. I will not trade my freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout.
