- [on the Star Trek (1966) fans] I'm a fan of the fans. I love them. They're fabulous. I love being around them. I love their madness and their caring. I love watching them take off for a weekend, don the costumes, and become characters from the 23rd century and beyond. I thank the fans for giving us--me--so much support and love. I want them to know I love them. They will always be my friends. I'll see the fans, always. They can rest assured of that.
- Star Trek (1966) represented, and still does represent, the future we can have, a future that is beyond the petty squabbles we are dealing with here on Earth, now as much as ever, and we are able to devote ourselves to the betterment of all human kind by doing what we do so well: explore. This kind of a future isn't impossible - and we need to all rethink our priorities to really bring that vision to life.
- Gene's whole vision was that minorities weren't on set because we were minorities, we were on set because in the future, our diverse world would all be working together as equals. I understand that everyone needs to see role models that can inspire them and talk to them and represent them, but I believe that we need to move to a future that transcends race, gender, or anything else. We're all people.
- All the people in Star Trek (1966) will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world. I think anybody with any intelligence sits down and sees Star Trek not as a children's show.
- I was very blessed in always knowing what I wanted to do, and by the grace of God, I've been able to succeed in my chosen career. It's just coincidental that the acting took off first over everything else.
- [on the death of Leonard Nimoy] Leonard's integrity as an actor and devotion to his craft helped transport Star Trek into television history. His vision and heart are bigger than the universe. I will miss him very much and send heartfelt wishes to his family.
- I've agreed to do several Star Trek conventions this coming year.
- Mahalia Jackson, I grew up around the corner from in Chicago.
- Billie Holiday I never met, but I love her music.
