Divorce is simply modern society's version of medieval torture. Except it lasts longer and leaves deeper scars. A divorce releases the most primitive emotions; the ugliest, raw feelings. Emotionally wounded people do their best to inflict pain upon the other party, but rather than using claws they use divorce lawyers.

I think the supernatural is a catch-all for everything we don't understand about the vast other parts of life that we cannot perceive.

It was the early 1970s and I was recently divorced. I had three kids and was totally broke. I managed to find work back east on the straw-hat circuit - summer stock - but couldn't afford hotels, so I lived out of the back of my truck, under a hard shell.

I've discovered that the more freedom I have to be creative, the more creative I become.

I see people putting text messages on the phone or computer and I think, 'Why don't you just call?'

But if you want to know the truth, the weirdest thing that has happened has been my discovery that people who attend the conventions are filled with love.

In my proudest moments, I think I had a real hand in the creative force of making 'Star Trek.' But most of the time, I don't think about it.
