Quotes from Michelle Forbes’ interview with Ian Spelling in the August 1994 issue of Starlog.
On Ro as a “strong” character:
“Everyone keeps referring to her strength and her outspokenness,” she notes, “but it disturbs me that Ro is constantly referred to as strong. She’s outspoken and she is who she is. I never thought of her as being strong. What is strong? People do tend to relate to her opinions or struggles and her outspokenness. If that makes her strong, fine, but she’s also weak in trying to find her way. Perhaps many people just identify with her for that.”
On why she wanted to play Ensign Ro:
“The story was so political. Television is mostly one-dimensional. You’re dealing with cops and robbers,” she argues, “or scandalous lawyers. I read ‘Ro’ and it had so many different levels to it, with fathers and war and homeland and prison and joining a new family. They never told me Ro was going to be a recurring character when we ewre doing it. After they put the show together they asked me if I would mind coming back. I said, ‘Absolutely.’”
On the script for the time loop episode “Cause and Effect”:
“They sent me the script and I thought the Xerox machine had screwed up. I was just about to say, ‘Look, there’s a problem with the script,’ she remembers, "Thank God I realized that was the whole show before I went and embarrassed myself.
On Ro’s growth:
"When they asked me to return as Ro [for "The Next Phase”], I said I had no interest in playing this character if she was going to be homogenized, if she was going to go from people thinking she was too outspoken to being turned into a soft-bellied piece of jello. The fans always said, ‘We love how true to herself she is.’ Some people told me at conventions that they thought she was becoming too soft, but I guess it’s a natural progression. That episode forced her to ask questions about why we’re here, how much we miss out on in life, what would happen if it were all taken away tomorrow. It was an interesting way to soften her up, not in a needless way, but in a growth way.“

We received the following heartwarming and challenging email today and want to share it with all our followers in an effort to Jake and his family as much support as we can.
Dear Trans*Enough,
I am the grandmother of a 7 year old child named Jake. The reason I am contacting you today is because I need help. My daughter (Jake’s mom) is currently in a custody battle. Jake’s father has sued to take away her parenting rights because my daughter supports her child. My grandson is transgender—he was assigned female at birth but identifies as a boy. His father is unsupportive of his gender identity and has attacked the one person in his life he needs the most, his mom.
My daughter hired an attorney to help her keep her parenting rights but the legal fees are more than she can handle. I have already given my daughter what I can but it is not enough. That’s why I created a campaign to raise money for her legal fees so she can keep custody of Jake. I am hoping by reaching out you can spread the word about this campaign I created. Please read the rest of my story at http://www.youcaring.com/other/help-my-daughter-keep-her-transgender-child/144297 and consider a donation. If you need the case to be authenticated, please message me through here and we’ll be in touch with you. We are more than happy to authenticate the case for anyone.
I would also greatly appreciate you sharing this information with your family, friends, allies, monthly email newsletters, business community, social media, etc. Jake and his mom need all the help they can get.
Thank you,
Beth (Jake’s Grandma)Theres only 15 days left on this and they’ve only raised $1000+, they need $19,000.
