Quotes
- "A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away." - Gene Roddenberry
- "I have felt many times trapped by "Star Trek." It cost me dearly. It won't anymore, because I've come to grips with what it is and where it fits in my life." - Gene Roddenberry
- "Normal TV limits what you can do. With science fiction, you can exercise your imagination more. I fell in love with it." - Gene Roddenberry
