And I've always felt comfortable certainly in a courtroom because you're just performing. And there was a time in my life when I thought when I grew up I'd be a trial lawyer myself.

Well, I'm... first and foremost I'm a theater guy and everything that I know comes from the theater.
A lot of people don't know that I'm a singer - that's my thing, really.
The great thing about show business is that there's no mandatory retirement age.
Ideally, people find mates with whom they can express both their masculine and feminine sides.
I don't think that a company should own a studio and the network, and program for their own network. It hurts the creativity - it is not a level playing field.
I've always had an affinity for lawyers. My dad is a lawyer. He's retired now. My brother is a lawyer.
In the fantasy, sci-fi world, the fans are so discerning and they're so tough and they're so intelligent, and they're so critical.
I like fantasy. I've always been the kind of kid who likes to dream about other things I could be and exotic situations I could be in.
The biggest challenge for everybody to realize out there is that we're in a very complicated business world and that were all under one umbrella and it's very challenging for everybody to figure out where the priorities lie and where the loyalties lie.
I've always been a big fan of time travel, and I'm very into the notion that some day we'll be able to do it. Beam me up!
I am very much against weapons in space. And I wish we could be spearheading that program to come to some kind of international agreement so that doesn't happen. That is my only - fear - in further space exploration like always, we hope it doesn't get abused.
I'm constantly involved in theater, looking at theater, trying to do work in theater, support theater. And that's kind of my creative passion.
You want to try and bring a character to life in an honest a way as you possibly can. It doesn't matter whether he's a doctor, an actor, a car salesman or a captain of a starship. If you can bring truth and honesty to that character, then your audience will believe you.
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.
On the whole, show business is a hard business in which to be married.
I went into show business because I love to work with people, and what I enjoy most about acting is rehearsing and getting to know people and their talents, forming relationships. Working in this business, barriers drop and you get into people real quickly.
