Yes, Data is hairless but I am not. And we are both anatomically correct.

There is no question that everybody who works in show business is lucky because of the number of people who wish they where working in show business.

And, you know, when you are a kid, everybody wants to be an actor. I think that everybody wants to be in show business, frankly.

I think he is an extremely accessible character. In Data there is no potential for cruelty.

I don't read fiction at all.

I'm an avid biography reader.

Having spent so much time in a fictional world, I prefer to read about the real world.

People think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it's really just the opposite.

And I think it's likely that there will be Data's out there one day. I hope so, if there are, that they all look exactly like me!

Radical surgery is never fun.

Yes, Data is hairless but I am not. And we are both anatomically correct.

If you look around at the people in show business today they are basically the people who didn't give up.

I think the potential for man is so enormous, if we can stay alive long enough, we're going to be seeing a lot of what Star Trek is projecting.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Data was the comic relief on the show.

My own personal favorite Cher song is the unforgettable Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.

I don't read Science Fiction.

I think it's the business part of the word show business that causes me the most concern.

Acting is acting.

Any job you can go to and have a laugh everyday has got to be a good job.

I really think that success in this field is about tenacity and just sticking with it.

I think the wonderment of seeing my two sons developing makes me incredibly optimistic about human potential. It makes you think: 'My goodness. It's a miracle that's going on here. What could the human race do together?'

I feel that the industry can be sliced into two categories - grateful actors and non-grateful actors. I'm always so appreciative that this has happened for me - and against all odds - as a middle child from Canada. I'm very grateful.

The aspect of kind of living in your imagination and creating a more romantic vision of the world than the reality that you're given - that's definitely something I can sort of relate to.

I loved nearly all my teachers; but it was not till I went home to live at Oxford, in 1867, that I awoke intellectually to a hundred interests and influences that begin much earlier nowadays to affect any clever child.

True prayer is not asking God for love; it is learning to love, and to include all mankind in one affection. Prayer is the utilization of the love wherewith He loves us.

The age in which we live can only be characterized as one of barbarism. Our civilization is in the process not only of being militarized, but also being brutalized.

We can only connect the dots we collect which makes everything you write about you... your connections are the thread that you weave into the cloth that becomes the story that only you can tell.

It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band.

I'm actually a very romantic person, and I would like to play in a love story. As long as it doesn't get too sweet. That's not me.

There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?

If someone really wants my company's business, why shouldn't he be able to do everything he can - including paying me off - to get that business? Because bribery encourages people to make decisions based on the wrong criteria, which means in the business world that it distorts the efficient allocation of resources.

I have never done any other job. I have sung in bands since I was 15. I left school completely unqualified. I have no other training.

I am very indebted to southern writers and not just Flannery O'Connor. Also Harry Crews, Larry Brown, Tennessee Williams, Barry Hannah and William Gay.

Conscience makes cowards of us all.

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

I called the doctor, during writing the book, the psychiatrist who treated me at that time, Dr. Jackson. And I said, Dr. Jackson, whole pieces are missing. I don't understand what happened to me.

Nobody is going to hand you a music career.

There's so much we can't express in our day-to-day interaction with people because it's considered inappropriate. And acting is all about being inappropriate.

My bottom line is that monetary policy should react to rising prices for houses or other assets only insofar as they affect the central bank's goal variables - output, employment, and inflation.

I think when companies are struggling, they don't want to talk to the press. The guys who write business books aren't interested in it because nobody wants to learn what it's like to be a mess, you want to learn how to be successful. That's slanted the whole thing quite a bit.
