I'm very grateful for the career that I've had. And I'm very grateful for the experiences that 'Star Trek' has afforded me, along with my past background. ”

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

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

I have considered myself a mature actor. ”

I refuse to be crude and selfish in any way. ”

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

My ambition is peace and perfection. ”
