Getting Patrick on the show is big time

Jean Luc brought our family up and continues to bring us together. Patrick Stewart teaches us about living fully, passionately, and with integrity. He is part of the fabric of our lives, regardless he doesn’t know us. We are grateful we know and love him.

@theliterarytarot 3 күн бұрын

He is truly one of a kind and a gift- on camera, in theatre and in life. A terrific writer as well. It’s a relief to see a celebrity who writes their own memoir with a unique style and authenticity.

Very pleasant manner of speaking this man has. It's very easy to listen to him speak. Only two actors I can think of with this kind of voice. Sir Patrick Stewart being one, of course, and the other being Morgan Freeman.

When rich tells Sir Patrick at the end...... "I hope you can find a little bit more grace and forgiveness for yourself, you owe that to yourself" I started sobbing. I know he was saying to him but I felt like he was saying it to me too. Such a thought provoking interview, really enjoyed it!

@scottthomas4779 8 ай бұрын

"By that time I had 2 divorces...I was to blame for both of them" the way he says that and the way he looks down just hit me so hard. By all accounts a very humble and kind man, highly intelligent and loved the world over but still not without his flaws and regrets.

I am very grateful that you did television. I was in Jamaica as a child when i started watching and to this day I know i was getting glimpses of the age and time was to come and it’s now unfolding. It wasn’t just entertaining it was preparation for me and I’m very grateful. Hearing that as a child you did what i did, fly in your dreams and speak with thy and thou as someone that grew up in Ballard’s Valley Jamaica. Thanks Picard that came to us through Patrick

I started listening to this podcast at lunch and my son stopped by my door and said; "Is that Patrick Stewart?...I'd know that voice anywhere!" Sir Patrick Stewart not reading his own audiobook would be...SCANDELOUS!!! :) Such an amazing man. My son's and I have been huge fans for years...virtually their entire lives. We listen to his audio rendition of "A Christmas Carol" every Christmas season...nobody does it better! Rich, you podcasts continue to be amazing. Keep insisting on having these authors you interview do their audiobooks as well. I remember way back when you debating Vinnie Tortorich who was insisting that he was not going to perform his audiobook. You insisted, he evetually did do it himself and that audiobook turned out to be very enjoyable. However, it would not have been nearly as effective or enjoyable had he not read it himself. I hope he thanked you :)

Thank you for bringing this interview to us. I knowhe is more than Star Trek, but STNG was and continues to be a huge part of my family's life. It was the first show my husband and I watched together while dating. Our kids grew up with it on all the time. We purchased the series on DVD and now watch it on streaming. We quote something from it almost daily. Sometimes a television show can be transformational.

This was a lovely interview. I felt like we got to know Sir Patrick in a way , perhaps, we hadn't known him before. I love that it was not so Star Trek focused but that Star Trek was mentioned as a vital part of his career. Well done! Sir Patrick is certainly a gift to us all, and we do not deserve him. I cried through many parts of his episode but none more than the final line "I hope you can find a little more grace and forgiveness for yourself, you owe that to yourself."

Thanks for this interview. Patrick Stewart continues to be fascinating to me as a human being, even if I roll my eyes at the paranormal stuff (yeah, there’s a “confluence” going on… a confluence of people CHOOSING to believe in nonsense over reality, because it excites them in some way)… …but he’s human. Despite his extraordinary self-awareness, social wisdom, and brave vulnerability, there’s still imperfection, and the diversity of positives & negatives that comes from being imperfect living beings. I don’t think we usually get to know the people behind the names very often, and Patrick Stewart is one where the glimpses of the person are possibly quite a bit as noble as his portrayals in fiction.

A beautiful, honest and open conversation between two men who can and want to talk to each other. Patrick is an actor and that helps him to tell things in a way that makes you want to listen to him, he can do it! But what lies behind them are deep and honest, self-reflective answers that simply deserve respect. Not for the actor, not today :-) but certainly for the person. Thank you very much.

One thing I have always had locked in as a question for a couple celebrities is ... "Are we ever going to see a Waiting for Godot released to the general public?". I learned about how Patrick and Ian McKellan did Beckett's Waiting for Godot a couple years after it was over and have always wanted to see it. It seems too precious to be hidden away in the NY Library Theater Archive.

I was looking forward to this but also a little wary of what might be said. Sir Patrick did not disappoint. His real life personality is very much like he played Captain Picard - over time. I could see the same man in both roles. Rich, I love the way you talk to everyone you interview. You are the same down to earth guy no matter who is in front of you. I imagined it might be tempting to be more formal with such an accomplished actor and knight! You didn’t need to. It was perfect. You really have a flair for interviewing people. Great job. I thoroughly enjoyed this. And of course, I ordered his book. Thank you as always. 👏👊👍😎

Theater might have saved his life, he saved mine through his acting. In a violent home it brought this hope that there is life out there. Not so much in the sci-fi way, but that it's possible to become someone else. Slip on a personality, bring it to life, and make it meaningful. To choose who to be.
