Acting is acting. |
Almost everyone has worked at Paramount at one time or another. |
And I think it's likely that there will be Data's out there one day. I hope so, if there are, that they all look exactly like me! |

Everyone I've ever known in my life, or seen, or met, or loved, or hated, is at risk of being destroyed. That's a pretty big chunk of fear, and I think that's what we are all dealing with, if we don't save the day. |
Generally, I have to be able to get the lines out of my mouth without making a mistake before I go to sleep. |
