The way I wrote him (and I think the way Andy so wonderfully played him), Garak was attracted to Bashir. He knew that attraction was not going to be returned (or even particularly noticed) and that was okay. He considered Bashir a friend and a protegee. There’s nothing overt, there’s no big flags waving or anything. It’s all subtext. So maybe ‘clearly’ is an overstatement.

How about, 'It would not be wrong to interpret Garak as bisexual.’

When I was writing the story, the movie Schindler’s List had just come out, and Ira was saying, ‘Maybe he was Schindler, maybe was the guy who let the prisoners go.’ And then it was, 'Maybe he wasn’t; maybe he was the Butcher of Budapest.’ So we just kept telling all these lies, and I think the truth lies somewhere in there. Maybe he did let people go. Maybe he did shoot the ship down. Who knows? He wasn’t a gul; he wasn’t in the military. He was in the Obsidian Order, and his first name is Elim. Those things, I would say, are the truth.

The Gamma Quadrant isn’t empty, it isn’t just a bunch of planets. It’s bound together by the Dominion, a very very tough, very smart, very old civilization, run by the mysterious Founders, who are experts in genetic engineering, and who turn out to be Odo’s people, the Shapeshifters. They then go and engineer these slave races that do their bidding. Essentially, the two main slave races were the ‘carrot’ and the ‘stick’. The carrot being the Vorta, who would come to your planet and say “Hey, you’re nice people, here’s some M-16s and some popcorn, and whatever else you want baby, alcohol, fire-water? All you have to do is sign this little contract and we’ll make you cool.” Then there’s the Jem’Hadar. So the Vorta say “Oh, you don’t want to play ball? Then meet these guys. They’re gonna kick your ass.”
