Fans Quote by Damon Lindelof
“I don't think it's hubris for me to say I'm a Trek fan. So, I don't treat Trek fans as somebody who's separate than I am. The only thing that separates them is, I'm one of the people responsible for the story in this movie and they're not. But we're all Trek fans. I can hang.”

At least we change our costumes - I don't spend 40 years dressed up as Tywin…” quote by Charles Dance](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/60f/charles-dance-10952_conventions_i-ve-done-a-couple-of-fan-conventions-an_2704510.jpg)
