I never watched 'Star Trek.'

One of the advantages of being a captain is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it.

We were basically one and the same, although Jim Kirk was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect.

When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.

I want to discover a truth for myself that is really true. Whether it's a piece of scientific knowledge, or a philosophical truth.

The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such, that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction.

You know, the process of making a documentary is one of discovery, and like writing a story, you follow a lead and that leads you to something else and then by the time you finish, the story is nothing like you expected.
