I think Star Trek has been very double-edged for all of us - as actors, writers, directors.

One of my philosophies as a director is to listen to other people's great ideas because they'll help make you better.

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."

I've always thought that we, as human beings, would be naive and arrogant to pretend that we're the only life form in the galaxy.

I think, unfortunately or fortunately, the reality of Hollywood is that if your movie makes money, they'll make another one.

Don't get me wrong-I'm very thankful for all the aliens I've met and loved.
