Don't get me wrong-I'm very thankful for all the aliens I've met and loved.
I've always thought that we, as human beings, would be naive and arrogant to pretend that we're the only life form in the galaxy.
I don't think you ever leave Star Trek for good.
One of my philosophies as a director is to listen to other people's great ideas because they'll help make you better.
I think Star Trek has been very double-edged for all of us - as actors, writers, directors.
I always enjoyed going into the holodeck.
No, the type-casting didn't happen until after Star Trek. I don't think that you get typecast until you've been cast!
I'm sort of in for a penny, in for a pound with Star Trek, It's my life at this point. To deny it would just be foolish.
Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make its own judgements.
