 Besides, a bald cap would have never looked real. |
| I'm going down in history with Star Trek. It's a great feeling. |
| I mean, every Star Trek episode you saw was just phenomenal. |
| I was thrilled, because I like the big screen and I could then move on to the next thing. It was the biggest break for me. In a way, though, I wish it had been a TV series because then you are working for five years. |
| One thing about me, as far as my career is concerned, is that I'm very confident. I know I'm good. |
| After Star Trek, I was with the top agencies, but producers and directors did not know what to do with me. |
| Having shaved my head for the role put a spotlight on me. |
| Maybe I'm being philosophical and spiritual, but I believe that if you put negative energy out there that that is what will come back. |
| Creative people are very insecure people because they don't know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel. |
| I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me. |
| Basically, they had asked me if I would shave my head or wear a bald cap. I said look, if you are doing a series for five years I would want to shave my hair because I would go bald with all the gum and glue from the bald cap. |
| Gene Roddenberry was a genius. |
| 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. |
| If there is an exotic woman it's always a terrorist role. |
| I also had this artist friend who'd paint butterflies and things like that on my head. |
| I just have beautiful memories of what has happened in my life. |
| 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. |
