More quotes by Brent Spiner
Needless to say, I was impressed by Felicia [Day] and her moxie with how to do a web series. I mean, she's the queen of the web.

It's fun to do something different. And there are things you can do in a small palate that you can't necessarily do in a larger role. You can go a little further and do things you could never pull off for any length of time, but you can do for the short run.

I try not to make plans. Because, even the best laid plans etc. etc.

We had lunch that day [with Chris Ellis], and I was talking about this idea. I toyed with it a little bit on Twitter in story form at one point. And he thought it was a great idea, and he thought, Well, let's bring my friend Harry Hannigan in, who's a wonderful writer, and let's see if we can put something together.

The woman who wrote the movie [Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains], her name is Nancy Dowd. She's a wonderful writer. She wrote Coming Home. And when I read the script, at that time, I thought, This movie is going to do for girls what Breaking Away did for boys. I thought it was going to be huge. It was a great script.

When I go to the old folks' home, I'm gonna be sitting in a rocking chair, telling everybody how I worked with Jack [Lemmon] and Walter [Matthau].

It seemed like an interesting movie [Independence Day], and I thought I had a take on the part that was going to be unique. That doesn't happen to me very often.

[Martin Scorsese ] basically works just like any other director. You work the scene, you try to find what's best in it and make it work. That's what it was like.
Brent Spiner
I've worked with some great people [in Star Trek], and I was paid handsomely, and it was a nice role. So the whole experience was positive for me.
Brent Spiner
Im thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.
Brent Spiner
I don't think everybody wanted to be on [new Star Trek series] . I certainly didn't.
Brent Spiner
Rent Control is not a terrible movie, certainly not for the budget they had. And, again, it's such an '80s kind of thing.
Brent Spiner
[Voice acting] is such an easy job. It's like stealing money, really. Which I'm always happy to do.
Brent Spiner
Having spent so much time in a fictional world, I prefer to read about the real world
Brent Spiner
Comedy really is my bread and butter, even when I'm doing a serious character, with the exception of Outcast. I have found very little humor in this character. Most of the time, what I do, somewhere there is comedy in it.
Brent Spiner
You look at that movie [Dude, Where's My Car?] now, and you know exactly when it was made. And that's what kids were like then.

It just occurred to me that there are some beautiful shots [in Rent Control] with the World Trade Center in the background.

I have to go with Data's makeup, because that was basically every day, 10 months out of the year, for seven years. There were only a couple of days that I had to endure for Dr. Soong.
Brent Spiner
We were kind of never one of CBS favorites [with Threshold], even though we'd gotten really good reviews for the pilot. We were on at, what was it, 10 o'clock on a Friday night? That's kind of where you bury a show if you don't want it to last. But, wow, what a cast, huh? You could never get that cast together again.
