We stress humanity, and this is done at considerable cost. We can't have a lot of dramatics that other shows get away with - promiscuity, greed, jealousy. None of those have a place in 'Star Trek.'

'Star Trek' is the McDonald's of science fiction; it's fast food storytelling. Every problem is like every other problem. They all get solved in an hour. Nobody ever gets hurt, and nobody needs to care. You give up an hour of your time, and you don't really have to get involved. It's all plastic.

Star Trek has brought so much of what I want within my grasp.

My approach to 'Star Trek' was, 'I know science fiction, and I know screen writing.' That was very arrogant of me, but you really need to be a little bit arrogant to think that what you have to say is good enough to justify the expense of hundreds of thousands - now millions of dollars - to make an episode of the TV show.

'Star Trek' is about a bunch of disparate people and what they're capable of when they work together.

Of course, the young male demographic has always been the target demographic for 'Star Trek,' the men ageing fifteen to about twenty-five or thirty, a very tough market to appeal to.

I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science.

I'm not a massive 'Star Trek' fan.

I think Star Trek has been very double-edged for all of us - as actors, writers, directors.

STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.
