It was &#8220;Unbelievably exciting,&#8221; said Stewart. &#8220;Unbelievable because I never expected it would happen to me and as an ex-athlete and huge fan of the Olympic Games, it was one of the best days of my life. And, I ended the day taking home the torch, but I seem to have mislaid it. If anybody knows where it is, please let the <em>@SirPatStew<\/em> team know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what accounts to his youthfulness and good looks, he said that &#8220;the great man<strong> Sigmund Freud<\/strong> said the most important things for a long and happy life were love and work and I&#8217;ve had a cornucopia of both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike his<em> Star Trek<\/em> character, Stewart&#8217;s favorite tea is not <em>Earl Grey<\/em>. &#8220;<em>Yorkshire Gold<\/em>,&#8221; he said, when asked what his favorite tea was. &#8220;Any other kind of tea bag needs two bags.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stewart spoke about his favorite <em>The Next Generation<\/em> episode and why he liked it. &#8220;Well, the thing is, my favorite episode is <em>Inner Light<\/em>,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It was a beautiful script, which for me was almost entirely located away from the Enterprise &#8211; and its crew! And because I was given the chance to perform what Picard would have been like if his life experience had been different. But another important reason is that I had a son in that episode who was played by my son, <strong>Daniel Stewart<\/strong>.
