"I'm a fan of the fans. I love them. They're fabulous. I love being around them. I love their madness and their caring. I love watching them take off for a weekend, don the costumes, and become characters from the 23rd century and beyond. I thank the fans for giving us – me – so much support and love. I want them to know I love them. They'll always be my friends. I'll see the fans, always. They can rest assured of that. (on fans of "Star Trek").""All the people in Star Trek will always be known as those characters. And what characters to have attached to your name in life! The show is such a phenomenon all over the world."
"I was very blessed in always knowing what I wanted to do, and by the grace of God I've been able to succeed in my chosen career."
