I don't think that a company should own a studio and the network, and program for their own network. It hurts the creativity - it is not a level playing field

I was a huge fan of the original Star Trek, and I'd never even dreamed that I would someday be captain of a starship...

I've done great theatre, great films and had a lot of opportunities in television. I also love to sing, and I've been able to do that once or twice in the television shows.

A lot of people don't know that I'm a singer - that's my thing, really.

I wanted to be an actor because it gave me the opportunity to express myself in ways I wasn't comfortable expressing myself, as a kid growing up in St. Louis.

I've always been a big fan of time travel, and I'm very into the notion that some day we'll be able to do it. Beam me up!

The longer you are in acting business, the more you cherish the times when you're working with people that do great work, and can figure out how to enjoy themselves while they're doing the great work.
