I've really never written about my relationships, or things like that. I wouldn't want to divulge things that were too private.

Mostly I have to try to censor myself so as not to write things that will hurt other people, or that will go too far.

Whenever I wrote fiction, people always seemed to think that what I wrote was true, that it was entirely autobiographical. And when I would write non-fiction, they often accused me of exaggeration and fictionalization.

It seems like the original 'Star Trek' could have gone on longer.

For me, the past is dead. Can't go back.

People don't expect too much from literature. They just want to know they're not alone with being confused.

Unfortunately, I'm one of those idiots who knows everything about health and is in a constant state of alarm, and yet I continue to do everything I shouldn't do.
