Yesterday, we told you about the Zachary Quinto interview with wired.com in which he stated “I’m stepping away from Star Trek for at least two years – no movies, no conventions, no anything for a while” and then continued by saying, “I’m stepping away from that genre and exploring a lot of other territory, I want to invite [my fans] along with me on my journey, which is going to take them out of their comfort zone and into other areas and other styles of storytelling”

Thankfully, in a post on his own official blog and via twitter, Quinto addressed those comments and cleared up any misunderstanding.

Quinto said,

i have been inundated with questions and confusion about a comment i made during an interview with wired – about the new atari star trek online game – in which i said i am stepping away from trek for the next two years. obviously i will be a part of any upcoming films… reprising my role as spock. what i meant was that in the meantime i won’t be making any public appearances related to the franchise – or doing any more auxiliary projects pertaining to the trek universe. i will be focusing my efforts on other projects and preparing to shoot the next film – which will be released in june of 2012… two years from now. hence the no trek for two years remark. worry not trekkers. it was a misunderstanding of context. i am not spock. but i am spock. all at the same time.

So, there you have it.. nothing to worry about Trekkers – all is cool with Mr. Spock!
