The good life is one that's artistically made.
Remember-you can't beam through a force field. So, don't try it.
TV shows usually take a break during the summer. I, on the other hand, do not.
I love Kentucky and I love my horses and as much as I love the cast - you can't put a saddle on Jimmy Doohan!
All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.
There's an ecstasy about doing something really good on film: the composition of a shot, the drama within the shot, the texture... It's palpable.
Writing is truly a creative art - putting word to a blank piece of paper and ending up with a full-fledged story rife with character and plot.
No, I don't regret anything at this point. That may change on the next phone call, but at the moment I don't regret anything.
I think what Roddenberry started and what was continued - and I'm not sure about the series today - was a Judeo-Christian ethic of hard work and morality and honesty: All the good principles we are taught and try to adhere to in some fashion.
It is an entertaining series of books - I have a font of stories that I think should engross you - hopefully not gross you. And I like to write.
I think the supernatural is a catch-all for everything we don't understand about the vast other parts of life that we cannot perceive.
Heroes are generally the leading men, and generally a story is written around the leading man or the leading woman.
I don't need rejuvenation. One vitamin E pill, and I'm okay.
I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.
I'm thrilled to have won the Emmy... Once again, I didn't think I was going to win.
So the supernatural becomes that mystical unknown - we refer to it as the unconscious, heaven, maybe even God.
I used to be quite an avid science fiction reader. I haven't done much of it of late, and the reading I've done has been other things.
In fact, now it's being called the Wells Fargo Hollywood Charity Horse Show - they're sponsoring us - and I mention that because what I've always tried to do, for the longest time, is to use my name to raise funds for various charities.
I am fascinated by directing films, I love computer-generated art, I'm a sportsman - mainly horses.
I hope I will be directing more in the future.
I love Montreal. I love the color of the French culture.
The fans are a large conglomerate of people. They're a heterogeneous group of people.
For commercial reasons, we stayed away from advancing the theory of God.
I'm a performer, comedian, entertainer, writer and director.
I can entertain you for hours - I hope - and make you laugh and cry.
A director is a choreographer, both politically and creatively.
Sci-fi films are the epic films of the day because we can no longer put 10,000 extras in the scene - but we can draw thousands of aliens with computers.
I'm looking for the perfect paintball movie.
I love the idea of making people laugh.
The basic quality that any great story must have is a story that illustrates the human condition.
Yes, probably, and the conventions that I went to in those early years were filled with passionate fans who would assume the persona of their various heroes.
I think of doing a series as very hard work. But then I've talked to coal miners, and that's really hard work.
A series is filled with compromises.
With each one of these books, I've worked with somebody else and made no secret of it.
Here's something pompous - you take your day and artistically create it, so every moment has an artistic flavor.
I think making a good film shot is joyful.
Your question implies that one has control of a career, and you don't. You don't have control of anything.
I've done a lot of directing, theater and some 12 hours of film.
I don't watch much television, but those movies of the week, and things like that, are more sophisticated than anything that was on in the sixties, with some rare exceptions like STAR TREK.
When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.
Captain Kirk has been a source of pleasure and income for a long time.
But if you want to know the truth, the weirdest thing that has happened has been my discovery that people who attend the conventions are filled with love.
If you read my books, especially the Star Trek books and the Quest for Tomorrow books, you'll see in them the core theme of the basic humanistic questions that Star Trek asked.
I've got rock 'n' roll in my blood.
There's a line that we all have to walk that is reality.
Acting is easier - writing is more creative. The lazy man vies with the industrious.
If you make a fool of yourself, you can do it with dignity, without taking your pants down. And if you do take your pants down, you can still do it with dignity.
I was built for the long run, not for the short dash, I guess.
I had no idea of humor and self-deprecation those many years ago, so I took a very serious approach on The Transformed Man, whereas I saw the value of alternating emotions and aspects of life in this album.
Spencer Tracy was a man who did very much what I do on a set, and that is, he comes down and he does his job, and then he goes back to his dressing room.
Oh, yeah, well that's what I keep trying to do, and I have to be reminded that it's a trade-off, the recognition factor and the virtues of being recognized.
I also derive a great deal of pleasure from horses and dogs... the ocean... and love.
Let's react like America always has - with courage, fortitude and, especially, generosity.
The Transformed Man - good, bad or indifferent - didn't work because the cuts were too long.
Well, everybody on Star Trek was Jewish.
And I enjoyed the celebrity and the creativity that was involved in Star Trek.
