Quotes by Ronald D. Moore

Ronald D. Moore

After you get a season under your belt, you learn a lot of lessons. It’s a much bigger challenge, logistically, in terms of production.

And your typical TV series, you’ve got your police station, your apartment, the hospital, the starship, or whatever it is, and you’re constantly going back to those sets and shooting, which saves you a lot of money and time. You can do that faster because you become really familiar with it and you become really good at it.

As frustrating as it gets, at times, and as frustrating as it is, at times, I don’t think I’ve ever considered doing something else, or not wanted to do it anymore. To me, it’s just the greatest job. It’s a good fit for who I am and what I want to be.

Who I Am

Even then, I didn’t quite know what to make of it [captain Kirk death]. I was mystified by why I was doing it, why I was so driven to do it, and why it was affecting me like it was. I still don’t know what it means. It’s a strange singular experience. I don’t even know anyone to talk to about it because I don’t know anyone who’s had that experience.

I grew up as a fan of the original Star Trek series. When I was in middle school, I think in the 6th grade, I remember going to a book fair and finding a book called The Making of Star Trek, by Stephen Whitfield, and I grabbed it and took and home and just devoured it, over and over again. It was a really influential book. It was very nuts and bolts.

I like interacting with fans and I like hearing what they say, but you have to take it all with a grain of salt.

I think people are screw-ups, and even our greatest heroes are deeply flawed human beings. People make bad decisions for all the wrong reasons, and then somehow they’ll do the right thing, and then somehow they’ll save somebody, or they’ll be compassionate. Horrible people can do wonderful things, and wonderful people can do horrible things.

I’m a writer. That’s who I am, at my core. I’m a writer, and then I learned production and administration, along the way. I feel like most people can learn it because production and the administration part is all about logic, and it’s all about learning rules and budgets.

I’m always looking for vacation. I’m always trying to step away from it to watch movies. I’m always trying to carve out free time for myself. But, I love it. I don’t think I’ve ever not wanted to run a show. When I have a show, I’m always really excited. I always enjoy the process.

Vacation

I’m always tempted in the back of my mind to continue to write things in the Star Trek universe, in the novels or the comics, just because I don’t get to play in that universe and I don’t get to hang out with those characters any more. You spend hours upon hours of your life, day after day sitting in writers’ rooms, talking about these people and these situations, and it becomes very real to you. They’re friends of yours, in a lot of ways.
