How did you prepare for the role of Captain Kirk?
Like I do with any films I've worked on here, I look at the truth of what I'm saying regardless of whether I'm in space or I'm on earth. What my character's saying and what is he going through, the emotions he's going through. And then just go through with [J.J. Abrams] the different ideas we might have and approach him and I practiced my American accent with my dialect coach and off we go.

What was it like having someone older than you play your son?
It was weird! We get mistaken for each other quite often. I walk on set and people are saying hello to me and we haven't actually met. They realize I wasn't the Chris they thought. I was shooting a film in Puerto Rico one time and I had people come up to me and said, "Were you in Smokin' Aces?" I was like, "No I wasn't. Chris Pine was!"
