When I look back and think how fortunate I've been to work with some wonderful people and had some marvelous experiences, then I can look at 'Star Trek' and think it's almost like the cream on the coffee. I don't approach it as anything but a magnificent plus.

DeForest Kelley

'Star Trek' put sci-fi on the map and changed television, and 'Battlestar' has changed it in another direction by making it a little more mainstream and acceptable to people who wouldn't normally watch sci-fi.

Aaron Douglas

I'm waiting for them to come up with a 'Star Trek' thing so they can beam me from my house to the gigs and back.

Aaron Neville

It shouldn't be so difficult to determine what a planet is. When you're watching a science fiction show like 'Star Trek' and they show up at some object in space and turn on the viewfinder, the audience and the people in the show know immediately whether it's a planet or a star or a comet or an asteroid.

Alan Stern

I'm immensely fortunate to have been involved in the 'Star Trek' universe. It has been a lot of fun, and I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to have been part of something so important to so many people.

Alice Krige

'Star Trek' still - I'm kind of intrigued by the way that the standard foods of various non-humans are sometimes portrayed as downright disgusting.

Ann Leckie

I was so excited to audition for 'The Lord of the Rings,' I knew it was going to be huge. Maybe, by some small chance, Peter Jackson's a 'Star Trek Deep Space Nine' fan.'

Aron Eisenberg

One of the reasons that I accepted, once asked to do Star Trek, was to give a single child a chance to see the long thought, to see themselves some 400 years hence. It occurred to me that we must ensure that we keep in front of children the ever-changing horizon.

Avery Brooks

When you're a kid, 'Star Trek' is a slower burn. It's funny, it's entertaining, but it also has a maturity about it - which is its universal appeal, I think.

Benedict Cumberbatch

I've always read a lot of sci-fi. When my son was younger, I actually went to a 'Star Trek' convention.

Blair Brown

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

Brent Spiner

I think the potential for man is so enormous, if we can stay alive long enough, we're going to be seeing a lot of what Star Trek is projecting.

Brent Spiner

Will Shatner, Jonathan Frakes of Star Trek have already put novels out.

Bruce Boxleitner

I got into writing to become a 'Star Trek' writer. I was a rabid fan. I had shelves and shelves and shelves of action figures in my bedroom that scared away more dates than I care to admit to.

Bryan Fuller

The wonderful thing about 'Star Trek' is that they're very open to suggestions for scripts and story ideas from the viewers. That's really unique.

Carel Struycken

Star Trek' always had a pretty serious atmosphere, but with 'Twin Peaks,' you walked onto the set and you had the feeling that everybody was walking around in a trance.

Carel Struycken

I even got invited to a 'Star Trek' sea cruise. That was pretty exciting.

Carel Struycken

Growing up, my favorite TV show was Star Trek.

Casper Van Dien

The original 'Star Trek' series is the classic one. Its successor, 'The Next Generation,' is less lovable, but at its best, it's smarter.

Cass Sunstein

Uh, I do not wear a wig in 'Star Trek' like I did in 'Bottle Shock,' thank God. 'Bottle Shock' will be the last wig movie I ever do.

Chris Pine

'Star Trek' scared me a lot more than 'White Jazz.' It terrified me, really. Because of the scale, the responsibility, the fact that it was this iconic character. It was the bigger challenge, so I had to take it.
