Gene Roddenberry was a genius.

Creative people are very insecure people because they don't know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel.

Maybe I'm being philosophical and spiritual, but I believe that if you put negative energy out there that that is what will come back.

I just have beautiful memories of what has happened in my life.

If there is an exotic woman it's always a terrorist role.

After Star Trek, I was with the top agencies, but producers and directors did not know what to do with me.

I only went to one Star Trek convention and that was in the late '80s. I hadn't gone to a convention before that. It was quite amusing, with the people dressed up and all of that.

I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me.

Everybody told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place they said I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with me.

I'm going down in history with Star Trek. It's a great feeling.

We stand today on the edge of a new frontier - the frontier of the 1960's - a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils - a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and threats.

That's the hell of sand castles. They are always doomed. That's part of their beauty — their impermanence.

New York has more hermits than will be found in all the forests, mountains and deserts of the United States.

I have perceived much beauty In the hoarse oaths that kept our courage straight; Heard music in the silentness of duty; Found peace where shell-storms spouted reddest spate.
