The only real difference between shooting ‘Firefly’ and ‘Serenity’ was that on ‘Serenity,’ we had a lot more freedom with time. When you’re shooting a television show, you usually have anywhere between six and nine pages of script to shoot a day, and only twelve hours to do it. But with ‘Serenity,’ we could shoot one scene all day long. Jewel Staite Read Quote

I was cleaning out the pigsty at a farm in Wales, where my mother had rented a room, when the results of my final school exam were handed to me by the postman, along with the news that I had a state scholarship to Oxford. I had waited for this letter for so many weeks that I had abandoned hope, deciding that I had failed ignominiously. Nina Bawden Read Quote
