And I enjoyed the celebrity and the creativity that was involved in Star Trek.

I chose films made by people I wanted to work with, about subject matter I thought was intriguing.

For me, as an actor, going from TV to film was interesting because TV and film are two very different things.

The busier you are, the more interesting you are. The more you're off doing your thing and loving your job and your life, that's fascinating.

I was so intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself.

Everyone told me to pass on 'Speed' because it was a 'bus movie.'

I have always argued, in a good novel, interesting things happen to interesting people.

When I did 'Battlestar Galactica' it was the first time I really understood science fiction. That was a very political drama, but set in spaceships so people didn't really take it seriously. But some really fascinating things were explored in that.

I fell in love with 'Star Trek' after J. J. Abrams's movie. I'm so into that.

When I grew up, I saw the moon landing, and I was fascinated watching them as a child, and that's what really turned me onto space and science fiction, and I started watching things like 'Lost In Space,' and that led me to 'Star Trek,' which was a major influence on my life.
