I think, frankly, that I'm a better director than I was an actor.

Someone once said "Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgements."

If the prime directives were followed a little more accurately here on earth, I mean it sounds somewhat Pollyanna, but I think people would certainly get along better.

I like contemporary American literature and I like biographies and I like jazz and I like baseball and I like writers who write about the human condition and sci-fi is just something that I happened into.

I think I'm a better director than I ever was an actor. I'd love to go back to acting, but nobody seems to want me.

I think that I've been pigeon-holed by virtue of the fact that I've spent so much time in front of a green screen.

I don't think you ever leave Star Trek for good.
