Right now, I don’t know what I’m doing next. I’ve come to a stage in my life where I accept things for what they are and go wherever life moves me.

I just have beautiful memories of what has happened in my life.

A lot of people remember me from Star Trek. They’ve all forgotten all the other things I’ve done. I was so identified with the role.

I mean, every Star Trek episode you saw was just phenomenal.

After Star Trek, I was with the top agencies, but producers and directors did not know what to do with me.

I only went to one Star Trek convention and that was in the late ’80s. I hadn’t gone to a convention before that. It was quite amusing, with the people dressed up and all of...

Basically, they had asked me if I would shave my head or wear a bald cap. I said look, if you are doing a series for five years I would want to shave my hair...

I was thrilled, because I like the big screen and I could then move on to the next thing. It was the biggest break for me. In a way, though, I wish it had been...

Besides, a bald cap would have never looked real.

I’m going down in history with Star Trek. It’s a great feeling.

Creative people are very insecure people because they don’t know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel.

If there is an exotic woman it’s always a terrorist role.

Everybody told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place they said I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with...

Maybe I’m being philosophical and spiritual, but I believe that if you put negative energy out there that that is what will come back.

Gene Roddenberry was a genius.

One thing about me, as far as my career is concerned, is that I’m very confident. I know I’m good.

Having shaved my head for the role put a spotlight on me.

You see, being bald and wearing that gray starship uniform, I would have looked like a boy. I wanted to look like a sexy female.

I also had this artist friend who’d paint butterflies and things like that on my head.

I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me.
