My personal top quote from the latest bunch of questions answered by Orci at trekmovie.com (see the discussion):
Entry #566:
Q: Which of the characters was most difficult to write?
A (Roberto Orci): The two characters that were the most difficult to
write were the villain and Kirk himself. Kirk in particular can be
deceptive because you can fall into the trap of making him
2-dimensional because you think you know him so well or because you
think his behavior in any given situation is a foregone conclusion —
rather than treating him as a true character who has free will and has
to make decisions. Easy to get lazy when writing known characters.
This makes me very, very hopeful to get an interesting Kirk...

1/ I'm easy to please, mostly (hey, I lied the Lord of the Rings films even though lots of purists hated them!)
2/ each & everytime I see news / trailer / interviews / chats / actors' faces, I SWIM IN GLEE. This qhuote will make my day ;-)
