Quotes `Star Trek` has given me a considerable amount of satisfaction and a certain amount of respect in the industry community and among people who watch TV and movies. I enjoy that. I enjoy feeling good about myself. God knows it`s easy enough for me to feel bad about myself -- I need all the support I can get. `Star Trek` deserves the respect it has received. If I`m going to be aligned with something, it might as well be something that makes a worthwhile statement most of the time. No, I don`t have any regrets about my involvement with `Star Trek` . `Star Trek` has given me a considerable amount of satisfaction and a certain amount of respect in the industry community and among people who watch TV and movies.
