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 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.

On the whole, show business is a hard business in which to be married

Sunday night was such a big night for television when I was growing up - you know, The Wonderful World of Disney.

I try to get on stage whenever I can. I'm always trying to be involved in the theater, doing something on stage, whenever I have downtime. I'm always looking for it.

Well, I'm... first and foremost I'm a theater guy and everything that I know comes from the theater.

I'm constantly involved in theater, looking at theater, trying to do work in theater, support theater. And that's kind of my creative passion.
