I would jump at the chance to work with the inordinately-talented J.J. Abrams on a new 'Star Trek' film.

I'm like a snake sleeping on a rock. I won't bother you unless you poke a stick at me.

I'm not nearly as significant as Ralph Nader or the local plumber.

I write a kind of surreal fantasy, but they can't put 'surreal fantasy' on a paperback.

It was a superlative joy of my long life to have worked with Leonard Nimoy, who became my friend, and many others at 'Star Trek.'
