ADD QUOTES
- Patricia Tallman: (talking about the misconception that all actors are overpaid) 90% of the actors you see on cable and on TV are in that range of "just barely making a living".

- Patricia Tallman: (talking about the appeal of the "Babylon 5" characters) It's a tribute to Joe (Straczynski) for having written characters that have a real journey. Nobody is 100% good, no one is 100% bad. There's something likable about each of them and there's something hateful about each of them....or at least irritating.

- Patricia Tallman: (talking about the passing of Andreas Katsulas) He was a tremendous person to work with and to have on the set.
