Question: I
don't know if you're aware of it, but you have such a distinctive voice. Did
that cause you any prejudice in Hollywood in getting roles?
Kate: You mean, were they auditioning me for male roles? I've heard about my voice all
my life, but, thanks be to God almighty, I can't hear my own voice so I don't know what it
is, but I suspect it must have an original enough quality to find this remark is often
made. And no, my voice has stood me in very good stead.... Strong, yes, it's helped me.
No bimbo roles, right? That's true. You just couldn't get away with a bimbo role,
could ya? 'Yeah, honey'... it doesn't work. |
Question: Starting
out, where did you think you would be today?
Kate: I certainly didn't think I'd be here, but I'm awfully glad I am.
And I think that's the beauty of the whole thing. The serendipity of it. The
fortuitousness of it. The chance of it all. In my wildest dreams, I didn't think I'd be a
Captain on a Star Trek series. I suppose any actress could say that, right, without fault?
But I think it's a damn good place to be, don't you? |

Question:
I got a couple of things.
First of all, I wanted to know, do you personally see Janeway, especially in
earlier episodes, as leading her crew and ship as more of a dictatorship rather than as a
democracy? [murmurs in audience]
Kate: [to audience] Answer for me.
AUDIENCE: No!
Kate: No. No!
Question: "She's always a little headstrong. 'I'm the captain. I said
so. This is the way it's gonna be.' "
Kate: That's not a
dictatorship. That's the height of femininity. [applause & cheers] There's the
distinction. |
