I think the writing on the wall is definitely there this year that this is probably our last year.

For some reason, it popped into my head the notion that a lot of the Next Generation cast in the long run of that show managed to step behind the camera.

In the meantime, I just have to create those realistic goals about the fact that I don't have a ton of options as an actor who's been on a science fiction show for 8 years.

I've always found ways to bend the rules.

It's absolutely true that it's almost impossible to play a character without having any affection for him.

Last year, the surgery was a tough decision, but I had to make a decision based on my career. It was a decision to get healthy, and start over with a new team at 100 percent.

You can't just score more points than last year without playing defense.

The year you win an Oscar is the fastest year in a Hollywood actor's life. Twelve months later they ask, 'Who won the Oscar last year?'

Last year my wife got a Rolls-Royce.

When it's my last year, I'll probably let people know when that last pitch is thrown and say thanks and walk away.
