The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

I have considered myself a mature actor.

I have been exposed to a great amount of temptation throughout the course of my career.

I once aged 90 years old in one episode.

You see, I was the son of a baptist minister.

Star Trek is perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me, in a career sense.

I had fallen in love with California.

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

My father started me singing in church.

I have deep feelings for the welfare and comfort of others.

I refuse to be crude and selfish in any way.

I have no aspiration whatsoever to be the next great leading man.

Star Trek has brought so much of what I want within my grasp.

What I truly miss the most is having sufficient time to do all the things that need to be done around the house and for our friends.

It was a perfectly average well- adjusted childhood, not a bit unlike that of millions of other individuals.

I m up at 5 in the morning and in bed by 10 in the evening.

I ran around with the other youngsters, hunting, fishing and raising tadpoles and all the rest.

My ambition is peace and perfection.

I am still seeking to become firmly established as an actor.
