There's no question what Hepburn would say. She would go back to what she's always said about Tracy. "He's a man's man. He put out his big paw and smacked me and that's what it's all about. And I just fell to my knees. And that's what I loved. And that's the way it's always been.
The perfect combination of everything that not only delights, but exalts me is my husband. I could not ask for a better man.

Something is happening now that's unprecedented, and we know that we're a part of it. What could be more exciting or better than that? You can't lose because you're on the pony and you're staking the claim.
I am often fond of saying the Trekkers are passionate about a hobby, their hobby is 'Star Trek.' They are by and large very imaginative, very intelligent people, and they certainly have been more than generous to me.
It's not refreshing where there is confusion or any kind of discomfort in a group that has to work that closely together.
Great writing is great writing. It's as simple as all that.
I've done a lot of television in life, and I don't remember the last time that I felt so consistently happy [working with Jenji Kohan].
