It's not a bad way to live once you let go of the idea that you deserve more.

I hate to look at the stuff I've written and consider what it means or why I do it.

I quickly said that, because of my loyalty to 'Star Trek' and also just being a fan, I wouldn’t even want to be involved in the next version of those things. I declined any involvement very early on. I’d rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them.

Whenever you're playing sports with people who are better than you are, it makes you rise to the occasion.

I do feel like no matter what you're doing, whether it's music or writing a play or a poem or drawing a picture or painting something, that you're speaking to what is it you want to express, what is it you want to see.

I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid.

I feel like obviously the standard for what TV looks like changes all the time.
