    Famous quotes by John Logan:

    "Music is the medicine of the mind"
    "Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, / No winter in thy year."
    "beer extreme..."
    "Oh, my God - I am really shaping the destiny of these characters. There's Patrick as Jean-Luc Picard, and he's now going to do a scene that I wrote. So that for me was the biggest sort of fan/professional synthesis."
    "I'd spent 10 years learning my craft, and I'm just a professional writer, and how I'm perceived doesn't matter to me in the slightest - because I don't live in L.A., I don't go to parties, I don't go to openings - I just keep my head down and do my job."
    "They're both such great directors. Ridley, of course, is very visual; he brings a world of visual creativity to the work, as well as great emotional truth and sincerity. And Scorsese is just great as the synapses flash in his mind - you just stand there and try to grab them!"
    "I chose to do this because I am a fan. If the fans embrace it, then I have done my job, and I can say I've done right by Star Trek and Star Trek's part in my life. If they reject what I've done, then I've made a serious miscalculation about what other fans like me want."
    "They hit the ball from top to bottom with line drive. We lost, but we didn't play that bad. It was just a case where the other team was so dominant."
    "I liked watching their team play, ... I didn't like losing to them of course, but you always like watching a team like that play."
    "I never realized that I didn't practice hard, ... But I guess he's just trying to get me ready to play."
