“You jump ahead several seasons to the Dominion War, and you see how strong he became; that he’s learned to do the right thing. He learns how to be the cowboy that everyone wanted him to be at the beginning. But at the beginning, you’re not even sure of his sexuality. Then they throw the Cardassian Garak in the mix at a very early stage, and it’s -not- subtle. There’s a kind of quivering sexuality going on there, which obviously doesn’t come home to roost, but it’s hero worship. I had fun with that, and I know that Andy Robinson, who played Garak, did as well. Andy just changed my game for me. He gave me a direction to go in, and I began to understand what was going on with the character once I got to talk to him. It was pretty much the only talking I did. The Terry Farrell/Jadzia Dax infatuation thing just didn’t work.”
