'Star Trek' posited a better future.
Doing 'Star Trek,' I got to learn about it from the inside out. I got to learn what appealed to them, why sci-fi meant so much to people, why 'Star Trek' meant so much to people.
I'm not really shy.
Why wouldn't I like to walk into a room full of people who are dying to hear everything I say?
The fact that we were encouraged to follow our conscience and not to follow the crowds - that's something I really miss. On the other hand, there were things that drove me nuts in the '60s. There was an aspect of the hippie movement that everyone is an artist, which is lethal.
I'll never forget my first moment of looking out on a convention audience with my mouth open like they were kidding me.
