In your recent interview for the TNG Blu-Rays you described your audition process for TNG. You said how you almost walked out of the
audition because they wanted you to play Data as 'robotic', and you prepared to play him as 'kind of like a person'. This is how we see Data in the first two seasons - even smiling occasionally, like when lifting Wesley out of the water in 'Encouter at Farpoint'. Starting
from season 3, he became much more robotic. Was this your idea or did the producers/writers feel he should be a lot less human?
Also, exactly how awesome is it to walk around on the Enterprise? :)
