I get to pretend I'm flying into space, and hang out with my friends. That's what I do for a living.

I had never seen much of Star Trek, or any other science fiction, before I was cast. But Seven's wonderful.
Jeri Ryan

I have a lot of fun with guns, especially the M-16, but my favourite is my little .22. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand. I do limit myself to blanks.
Jeri Ryan

I have no specific ideas in mind of what I will or won't do; it's all about the roles.
Jeri Ryan

I loved working with Eric Close and J T Walsh.
Jeri Ryan

I started by looking everything up in a Star Trek dictionary so I knew what I was talking about, but you can't do that because they talk in circles, and half of it doesn't make sense, so you'll just end up driving yourself more insane.

I think the more stressful our times get, the more we look for fantasy escapes.
Jeri Ryan

I was always a fan of horror films as a kid.
Jeri Ryan

I was raised all over. Kansas, Hawaii, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky, by the time I was 11.
Jeri Ryan

I would defy people to find a more beautifully developed character than Seven of Nine.
Jeri Ryan


I'm not real impressed with the Star Trek weaponry, I gotta be honest.
Jeri Ryan

I'm not seeking out genre films, but this just came my way, and Miramax was good enough to add a role for me because we wanted the chance to work together.
Jeri Ryan

I'm not so widely known that I'm going to be pigeonholed.
Jeri Ryan

I've always wanted to do this, so it really is a dream come true.
Jeri Ryan

I've loved the escapism of being another person, slipping into another character for a little while.
Jeri Ryan

It doesn't bother me that Seven has such an overtly sexual presence, because she has no concept of what effect that physical package would have on some male member of the crew. That's what's fun, her innocence.
Jeri Ryan

It might be arrogant to think that we're the only living creations in all of the solar systems that there are. Space is so vast.
Jeri Ryan

It was really a pleasure to play someone who's literally pushed past her breaking point repeatedly.
Jeri Ryan

It's supposed to be entertainment. It's not supposed to be a documentary.
Jeri Ryan

My background has been very helpful for this experience. But everyone was so accommodating because they knew it's not the most comfortable position to be the new kid.
