I like to think of myself as the Rutger Hauer of this show Star Trek: The Next Generation. But then I like to think of myself as Rutger Hauer in real life: strikingly handsome, irresistible to women, an intergalactic enigma.

Im thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.

One of the things about working on Star Trek that was always so great was that we all got along as well as we did. We really became family.

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!

And, you know, when you are a kid, everybody wants to be an actor. I think that everybody wants to be in show business, frankly.

So we [with Chris Ellis] did [Fresh Hell], and we did the first five episodes as a lark, just to see if anybody would respond or be interested, and we got enough feedback that was positive that we thought, "Let's keep going with this and see if we can flesh it out a bit this season." We've had 10 episodes, and they've been longer and a little more complete.

My own personal favorite Cher song is the unforgettable Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.
