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.
From Persis Khambatta
One thing about me, as far as my career is concerned, is that I'm very confident. I know I'm good.
Having shaved my head for the role put a spotlight on me.
After Star Trek, I was with the top agencies, but producers and directors did not know what to do with me.
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.
If there is an exotic woman it's always a terrorist role.
I'm going down in history with Star Trek. It's a great feeling.
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 know that nobody can become a star without a team.
I love what I do, and I'm not doing anything either for money or for the sake of some unfulfilled ambition.
