It really was not that difficult a process, because I was playing [Data from Star Trek] something that doesn't exist. So it was really based on... Imagination was the key element in that, and whatever I could think of, I could do, because there was no precedent for it. It wasn't like someone was going to say, "Well, an android would never do that." They didn't know!

There is no question that everybody who works in show business is lucky because of the number of people who wish they where working in show business.

I've worked with some great people [in Star Trek], and I was paid handsomely, and it was a nice role. So the whole experience was positive for me.

If you look around at the people in show business today they are basically the people who didn't give up.

I didn't really watch the show [Star Trek]. I still haven't seen about 150 of them. So I didn't really think of them too much in terms of episodes. I thought of them as kind of one long seven-year episode.

Can't argue with Gene Roddenberry. He was a pretty brilliant guy.

I think honestly, believe it or not, that Dude, Where's My Car? in a way represents its time better than almost any film made around that.
