Quote by Patrick Stewart

Summary

This quote, spoken by Sir Patrick Stewart, demonstrates the irony and misconception that being known for portraying intelligent characters in science-related roles can create. Despite playing intellectually stimulating roles like Captain Picard in Star Trek and Professor Xavier in X-Men, Stewart humorously admits that his on-screen expertise doesn't necessarily translate to real-life skills. The quote highlights the fact that acting and reality are separate, and expertise in one field doesn't necessarily transfer to others. It also reminds us that celebrities are not synonymous with their fictional characters and have their own personal areas of proficiency and challenges.

Closing up. Finally spent.You are gone.And now you're moving along.Heavy now. Tears remain.Hard pressed to rest.When all I feel like is a mess.Now, don't you worry your head.You're not my one and only friend.And I don't need you anymore.To leave me bruised and broken on the floor.You left me bruised. You left me broken.You left me bruised. You left me broken.
