Zachary Quinto Speaks on Spock Role

"I really felt like my relationship to the character was specific to the text I was playing and to the world in which the character is being created right now, this time," Quinto recently said in an interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, California.

"So I didn't feel beholden to [original Spock portrayer Leonard Nimoy], other than to honor the origins of what he created, obviously. But I think the whole project was based in that philosophy, so it wasn't a problem."

As for the earlier poster of him in costume, as seen above?

"I think it looks great," Quinto said. "I think the colors look really great. And, you know, I think it's a hearkening of what's to come. ... I think it's going to be really cool."
