Question: "I’m sure you’ve heard this a million times, but what was your favorite moment of being Janeway."

Kate: Oh, it’s so tough. Seven years…

Question: "Just a moment, not the end of it."

Kate: The first. On the bridge. ‘Engage.’ [laughter] You have no idea what that day was like. Those of you who are real devotees will remember that Genevieve Bujold had this job originally. And she had it for all of 20 hours but that’s beside the point. They brought me in, I was shot out of a canon. I was very nervous. There were 20 suits standing in front of me on the bridge. I mean, you could have cut that tension with a knife. And Rick Kolbe, who was directing the pilot, said something to me as I stood off-stage that I’ll never forget and they gave me my first wings. He said, "This is your living room, baby. Take it." And when I walked on, I just did. And when I sat in the chair, I thought I would not do what Genevieve did. I would not say [using French pronunciation] "Engage." [laughter] That might be a little confusing, I thought, to those Americanos out there watching so I said, "Engage." And that was a great moment. [applause] Thank you. Thank you.
