I don't read fiction at all.

I'm an avid biography reader.

I don't read Science Fiction.

Radical surgery is never fun.

Timing is everything, as you know.

A job is a job. And I like to work.

In my heart, I've never left Brazil.

I felt like I was a natural [in The Simpsons].

No, actually I'm trying to stay away from the big screen.

Can't argue with Gene Roddenberry. He was a pretty brilliant guy.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Data was the comic relief on the show.

I try not to make plans. Because, even the best laid plans etc. etc.

Yes, Data is hairless but I am not. And we are both anatomically correct.

Any job you can go to and have a laugh everyday has got to be a good job.

I always refer to [Stardust Memories] as Sharon Stone's and my first film.

I don't know you could do a whole film about Dr. Okun from Independence Day.

Certainly I find it most interesting to play a role that I can invent from nothing.

I don't think everybody wanted to be on [new Star Trek series] . I certainly didn't.

My own personal favorite Cher song is the unforgettable Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.

I did have a tiny moment in a TV movie called My Sweet Charlie, starring Patty Duke.

Having spent so much time in a fictional world, I prefer to read about the real world

I tended to do a lot of shows that were ahead of their time and didn't run very long.

[Independence Day] was a sweet, sweet job, because it was one of those big surprises.

Having spent so much time in a fictional world, I prefer to read about the real world.

I think we're all fans, and I understand the whole world of fandom, because I am a fan.

[The Aviator] came about through John Logan, who I've been friends with for many years.

People think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it's really just the opposite

I think it's the business part of the word show business that causes me the most concern.

People think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it's really just the opposite.

I did learn a lot from [ Felicia Day], though, and I was able to usurp some of her talent.

I think he is an extremely accessible character. In Data there is no potential for cruelty.

John Logan pretty much does the Woody Allen thing of just bringing people in and meeting them.

[Voice acting] is such an easy job. It's like stealing money, really. Which I'm always happy to do.

I mean, I'm the tag of the [ Big Bang Theory ] show! That was one of the easiest jobs I've ever had.

I think there is something like 90% unemployment in the Screen Actors Guild, so we are the exception.

If you look around at the people in show business today they are basically the people who didn't give up.

And the basic sort of thrust of Star Trek being about equality and tolerance and things I believe in deeply.

Generally, I have to be able to get the lines out of my mouth without making a mistake before I go to sleep.

Rick Berman, who produced Star Trek, was a big Night Court fan. So he knew who I was as soon as I walked in.

I do know that when I look around in show business, I see a lot of people who were in my drama class in high school.

Im thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.

[Fan In Lobby from Stardust Memories] that was just after The Dain Curse. My other big uncredited role from back then.

Hollywood has more than its share of harsh and crewel stories. In fact, it's probably more the norm than the exception.

Rent Control is not a terrible movie, certainly not for the budget they had. And, again, it's such an '80s kind of thing.

It just occurred to me that there are some beautiful shots [in Rent Control] with the World Trade Center in the background.

I've gotten such good feedback from that [re-team with Wil Wheaton for Big Bang Theory appearance], and I hardly did anything.

I try to do as much as I can. I probably knew more about Earl Mills than anybody on earth besides people who actually knew him.

You look at that movie [Dude, Where's My Car?] now, and you know exactly when it was made. And that's what kids were like then.

And, you know, when you are a kid, everybody wants to be an actor. I think that everybody wants to be in show business, frankly.

Needless to say, I was impressed by Felicia [Day] and her moxie with how to do a web series. I mean, she's the queen of the web.
