After Star Trek, I was with the top agencies, but producers and directors did not know what to do with me.

Maybe I'm being philosophical and spiritual, but I believe that if you put negative energy out there that that is what will come back.

I'm going down in history with Star Trek. It's a great feeling.

Having shaved my head for the role put a spotlight on me.

I only went to one Star Trek convention and that was in the late '80s. I hadn't gone to a convention before that. It was quite amusing, with the people dressed up and all of that.

Basically, they had asked me if I would shave my head or wear a bald cap. I said look, if you are doing a series for five years I would want to shave my hair because I would go bald with all the gum and glue from the bald cap.

One thing about me, as far as my career is concerned, is that I'm very confident. I know I'm good.

Gene Roddenberry was a genius.

I just have beautiful memories of what has happened in my life.

Creative people are very insecure people because they don't know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel.

Besides, a bald cap would have never looked real.

Everybody told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place they said I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with me.

I mean, every Star Trek episode you saw was just phenomenal.

I also had this artist friend who'd paint butterflies and things like that on my head.

If there is an exotic woman it's always a terrorist role.

After Star Trek, I was with the top agencies, but producers and directors did not know what to do with me.

I was thrilled, because I like the big screen and I could then move on to the next thing. It was the biggest break for me. In a way, though, I wish it had been a TV series because then you are working for five years.

I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me.

Every star, whether it's Harrison Ford or Robert De Niro, is remembered by one film. Persis is a star in the sky - how can a star be forgotten when all you have to do is look up and see her?

I had a growing career as a model and an actress in London - I had starred opposite Michael Caine and Sidney Poitier in 'The Wilby Conspiracy' - but everyone told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place, they said, and I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with me.

I know that nobody can become a star without a team.

I love America. I eagerly became a citizen. I have no bitterness toward those casting directors who dismissed me because of my accent, nor toward the producers and directors who wanted to cast me but thought the audience wouldn't accept my accent. I think they're selling their audience short.

I love what I do, and I'm not doing anything either for money or for the sake of some unfulfilled ambition.

I thought I was very pretty without hair. Naked, more honest somehow. No glamor, just bald old me. I seldom wore wigs or hats. But some people must have thought I was an exhibitionist or a religious fanatic.

I was brought to Hollywood by Gene Roddenberry and Michael Eisner, chosen from 600 hopefuls to star in the original 'Star Trek' motion picture. The success of the film, coupled with the allure that I had shaved my head for the role, put a spotlight on me.

If I send out positive messages, it will set a chain of healthy thought processes.

We are all part of the same energy that envelops.

I really am an open book. I don't keep anything in at all, which is good and bad.

I want pills called September 10. You take one and your mind feels like the 11th never happened.

Many researchers have joined the field and applied the LED to many new markets such as mobile phone screens, LED TV, and LED Lighting.

L.A. makes you feel ugly.

Being kind is the most important thing Ive ever been taught. Thats what my parents always told me - more important than ambition or success is being kind to people. The cornerstone of my life. What I aspire to is to be kind.

A social problem is one that concerns the way in which people live together in one society. A racial problem is a problem which confronts two different races who live in two separate societies, even if those societies are side by side.

Stones of judgment discouragement or doubt may be thrown at you. You cant stop them but you can make the choice to keep your walls up and not let them affect you.

I love coming back to Edinburgh. It's nice to spend real time here.

Change comes when humanity becomes Self-LESS.

Your work is carved out of agony as a statue is carved out of marble.

I started acting pretty young, so I haven't had too many odd jobs. But I used to sell candy out of my locker in middle school.

My fans reflect who I am.

There’s always a point where you get knocked down. But I draw on what I’ve learned on the track: If you work hard, things will work out.

Even when Im dead Ill swim through the Earth like a mermaid of the soil just to be next to your bones.

When we find a fossil, we mark it. Today, we've got great technology: we have GPS. We mark it with a GPS fix, and we also take a digital photograph of the specimen, so we could essentially put it back on the surface, exactly where we found it.

Anyone can be confident with a full head of hair. But a confident bald man theres your diamond in the rough.

Sometimes I dress like what I want for lunch, because all I can think about is having a tuna sandwich.

The reflection of the world is blues, that's where that part of the music is at. Then you got this other kind of music that's tryin' to come around.

There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to.

I have a lot of friends and fans in Canada and as a matter of fact I met a fan from there that came down to my office. It was nice and we took pictures and had a nice talk.

When you're writing there's a deep, deep level of concentration way below your normal self. This strange voice, these strange sentences come out of you.

I respect all religions, but I'm not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn't brought up in a religious way, but I believe there's something out there that looks after you.
