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

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.

An enormous amount of ingenuity and creativity goes into commercials, and they can be fascinating if you pay attention.

To be humble to superiors is duty to equals courtesy to inferiors nobleness.

All they need to do is to set up some website somewhere selling some bogus product at twenty percent of the normal market prices and people are going to be tricked into providing their credit card numbers.

We like to engage in a normal publishing effort, which is to act in a responsible manner and make sure the material is not likely to harm anyone, that it is properly investigated by quality news organizations, and by lawyers and human rights groups and so on.

We have a lot of thoughtful people in the U.S. Senate.

The substance of fictional architecture is not bricks and mortar but evanescent consciousness.

To forgive is indeed the best form of self interest since anger resentment and revenge are corrosive of that summum bonum the greatest good.

I think that the discoveries of antibiotics and vaccines have contributed to the improvement of the quality of life, making it possible to prevent contagious diseases.

I have a thing that I do when I meet famous people, where I try to play it really cool. Sometimes I pretend like I don't know them.

The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy, but the best weapon of a democracy should be the weapon of openness.

I think Secretary Clinton tried to hide every one of her emails. She destroyed 30,000 of them.

I didn't ever think of it as a social thing at the time. I took it as a good story. Maybe because I've always been kind of progressive so I never thought of it, you know.

All I want is the same opportunities as the filmmakers I grew up admiring. But you know, I've had lots of amazing opportunities to do the movies I wanted to do. If I could write my future, I'd want to keep making character-based films that can make use of my voice as a filmmaker.

Divorce is fairly common these days, and I think many times people disregard the emotional impact that divorce has on a couple and a family, because it happens so frequently.

A mother-in-law is better than a single and childless political persona, though.

And a million horrible bellowing echoes broke From the red ribbd hollow behind the wood And thunderd up into Heaven.

I have a crazy amount of different jobs, so the way I manage that is to not do more than one at a time. It's like old computers that had small memory chips, they would do something called swapping, where they would fill the memory with one task, do it and get it out.

All great change in America begins at the dinner table.

I dont have a kid but I think that I would be a good father especially if my baby liked to go out drinking.

Libraries were full of ideas perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.

Time is on the side of truth.

Teaching is the profession that teaches all of the other professions.
