Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Nana: (on Wildfire) The scene I just shot, I had to lead this enormous horse out and do a scene with Greg... And this horse was basically dissing me by trying to use me as a scratching post. And I had to understand that and know that I say, 'Hey. I invade your space, you don't invade mine.' And there's this whole psychological thing going on with the horse as I'm doing a scene. So I know a lot more about horses than I did before the show, that's for sure.
-
Nana: I feel like a leopard who has been let out of the zoo and is back on the... jungle, savanna, whatever, I'm not sure where leopards live! The lions may be chasing me, but at least I'm in my element.
-
Nana: I would love to have seen a male-female relationship that had nothing to do with falling in love, I'd love to prove, even on TV--even if it's not true--that men and women can be friends without any kind of involvement.
-
Nana: [jokingly] If you notice, everyone on Deep Space Nine has this weird... I mean well... weird names. It's like they chose us for that. Except Terry Farrell, but she makes it in the weirdness anyway. She fits right in with us.
-
Nana: (On her policy of personalizing autographs) The point of writing my name to you is that I see who you are, you see who I am... and that's what it's about.
-
Nana: (On her Star Trek character) Kira embodies the warrior archetype that all women to a lesser or greater degree possess... Her aggression is not without purpose, but is passionately connected to her love of the culture, spirituality, and history of the people of Bajor. A mentally and physically fearless fighter, she'll do anything for what she believes is for the good of Bajor.
-
Nana: (On talking with the fans) I don't get what my signature is supposed to mean if we haven't had some kind of exchange.
