That was the feedback that I got. Obviously it was quite a different journey than the one I've actually had, but I just listened to people.

Zachary Quinto

Before 2010, I had a vision. I saw a family in my mind that I wanted to have. And I was pushing and driving hard for my picture, and then I realized everyone has their own journey.
