'Star Trek' never grabbed me. Every time I hear about Klingons, I think of those little lint balls that stick to your clothes in the dryer.
In my proudest moments, I think I had a real hand in the creative force of making 'Star Trek.' But most of the time, I don't think about it.
James T. Kirk: So what kind of combat training do you have? Hikaru Sulu: Fencing.
James T. Kirk: I relieve you, sir. Christopher Pike: I am relieved.
James T. Kirk: [Stepping aboard the bridge as its official captain] Bones! Buckle up!
[through a mind meld with Kirk] Spock Prime: Billions of lives lost because of me, Jim, because I failed.
[Kirk rescues Pike] Christopher Pike: What're you doing here? James T. Kirk: Just following orders.
James T. Kirk: I don't feel right. I feel like I'm leaking!
Nero: That ship. Take it out. Romulan: Sir, if you ignite the Red Matter... Nero: [yelling] I want Spock dead now!
Star Trek wouldn't die. There were a whole lot of young people who were touched by the thought process of science fiction. If you watched a cop show, there wasn't anything that was going to stimulate your mind.
You called the guy you’re supposed to rescue a nerd, and you just referenced Star Trek. You don’t find that a bit nerdy?
Nobody could have imagined the phenomenon that 'Star Trek' became. It's still almost impossible to imagine.
I spent years doing 'Star Trek' bits and things, and a lot of people loved it, a lot of people mocked it.
She was my friend because she was kind and funny but she had a face like two oysters fused together in a Star Trek matter transporter accident.

One of my favorite things about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show with...
The human race is a remarkable creature, one with great potential, and I hope that 'Star Trek' has helped to show us what we can be if we believe in ourselves and our abilities.
I've often reflected on this in the past weeks as I've been following the presidential campaign: Very often, I thought it would have been great for both of these guys to sit down and be force-fed a couple of dozen episodes of Star Trek.
The truth of the matter is, all of those guys on Star Trek: The Next Generation actually want to be me. These impersonations they do are just some way of trying to feel what it must be like to be me. And I understand that! Because it feels really goo...
I don't know if science and reason will ultimately help guide humanity to a better and more peaceful future, but I am certain that this belief is part of what keeps the 'Star Trek' fandom going.
I was a huge 'Star Trek' fan. I loved the 'Twilight Zone' growing up. In the future, I hope to create some thoughtful, sci-fi drama.
