I am still seeking to become firmly established as an actor.
I had fallen in love with California.
I have been exposed to a great amount of temptation throughout the course of my career.
I have considered myself a mature actor.
I have deep feelings for the welfare and comfort of others.
I have no aspiration whatsoever to be the next great leading man.
I m up at 5 in the morning and in bed by 10 in the evening.
I once aged 90 years old in one episode.
I ran around with the other youngsters, hunting, fishing and raising tadpoles and all the rest.
I refuse to be crude and selfish in any way.
I value friendship very highly, and I am affected to a greater extent than most by any betrayals along those lines.
I ve been told that I always at like a gentleman, I try to be one as much as I can.
I was also a child soloist, both at church and at a local theater- the Paramount in Atlanta, Georgia, which is my hometown.
It was a perfectly average well- adjusted childhood, not a bit unlike that of millions of other individuals.
My ambition is peace and perfection.
My father started me singing in church.
One tactic that works, just temporarily, is for me to say a prayer for the day as I am getting up each morning.
Star Trek has brought so much of what I want within my grasp.
Star Trek is perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me, in a career sense.
The most important influence in my childhood was my father.
What I truly miss the most is having sufficient time to do all the things that need to be done around the house and for our friends.

His nickname was "Dee".
