“Gene Roddenberry was a genius.” — Persis Khambatta Quote

Gene Roddenberry was a genius.

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.

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 that.

It's tough to make it as an actor, tougher still to make it as an actress - the Screen Actors Guild is eager to provide the statistics to verify the latter.

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.

My blood runs cold when I hear the 'great news' that we have found a marker for the Down's syndrome gene, which means we can identify it more easily. Why is that good news? It's only good news if you're going to terminate.

When I look at old pictures, I see my son Luciano, not me. Luciano looks identical. That's what's extraordinary, the power of a gene pool.

I am a goofy person, really. That's where my energy goes, that's how I live my life. The goof gene is very strong inside me, really.

I think I have a gene in me to always fight for the underdog, which I've done since I was a kid.

Blissfully, I don't have the revenge gene.
