On the best thing about playing a Star Trek captain: "I was very excited. I was a huge fan of the original Star Trek, and I`d never even dreamed that I would someday be captain of a starship... I`m a big fan of the future of space programs on this planet, especially if it`s a space program that can proceed in a peaceful fashion, keeping weapons out of space." (Sept/Oct 2006, Star Trek Magazine issue #1)
- Scott BakulaStarship Troopers was great. It was great fun to work on something with blue screens and big budget special effects. Denise Richards was nice to look at too, of course.
- Neil Patrick HarrisI am not a Starfleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don`t live on Starship NCC-1701, or own a phaser. And I don`t know anybody named Bones, Sulu, or Spock. And no, I`ve never had green alien sex, though I`m sure it would be quite an evening. I speak English and French, not Klingon! I drink Labatt`s, not Romulan ale! And when someone says to me `Live long and prosper`, I seriously mean it when I say, `Get a life`. My doctor`s name is not McCoy, it`s Ginsberg. And tribbles were puppets, not real animals. PUPPETS! And when I speak, I never, ever talk like every. Word. Is. Its. Own. Sentence. I live in California, but I was raised in Montreal. And yes, I`ve gone where no man has gone before, but I was in Mexico and her father gave me permission! My name is William Shatner, and I am Canadian!
