Personal Quotes

[from the Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) Special Collector's Edition DVD] If I could do only "Star Trek" movies for the rest of my career, I would. That's how strongly I feel about this organization. I do not say that lightly.

[on the so-called "Oscar jinx"] The Oscar is the single most important event of my career. I have dined with kings, shared equal billing with my idols, lectured at Harvard and Columbia. If this is a jinx, I'll take two.
