Oh, God, I don't know what's more difficult, life or the English language.

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

As a child, I wanted to be an athlete, a professional tennis player or something like that.

Don't hold me to anything in the book. I'm a waffler. I like wafflers. They said John Kerry was a waffler, but I admired him for that - showed he could change his mind.

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.

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.
