The character of Brent Spiner. We certainly collaborate on the concept of that, but he basically writes the script, then it's sort of a combination of his voice and my voice.

More quotes by Brent Spiner
I think honestly, believe it or not, that Dude, Where's My Car? in a way represents its time better than almost any film made around that.
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.
Brent Spiner
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].
Brent Spiner
I think Rick Berman just called me and asked me if I wanted to do the show [Star Trek: Enterprise], and he said they'd write an arc if I'd do it.
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
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.
Brent Spiner
I had no idea I was part of what was going to be a big mega-hit. I thought I was doing a B sci-fi movie [Independence Day]. And, actually, it was Jeff Goldblum who looked at me one day and said, You know, I think this is going to be really something. And I said, Well, I hope you're right. And sure enough, it turned out to be.
Brent Spiner
Dr. Okun. Who's named after a special-effects guy named Jeff Okun, who had done Stargate for Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, who did Independence Day. But Brakish just came up one day when Jeff Goldblum and I were improvising, and he told me his character's name and I told him mine.
Brent Spiner
A job is a job. And I like to work.
Brent Spiner
There's such a grand fraternity of actors who've played the Joker, not the least of whom is Mark Hamill, who voiced it for so long and was so great. I did it one time and... I've gotten some feedback on it from people who've seen it and really enjoyed it, but I don't know.
Brent Spiner
I've gotten such good feedback from that [re-team with Wil Wheaton for Big Bang Theory appearance], and I hardly did anything.
Brent Spiner
Radical surgery is never fun.
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.
Brent Spiner
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.
Brent Spiner
I do know that when I look around in show business, I see a lot of people who were in my drama class in high school.
Brent Spiner
I like to think of myself as the Rutger Hauer of this show Star Trek: The Next Generation. But then I like to think of myself as Rutger Hauer in real life: strikingly handsome, irresistible to women, an intergalactic enigma.
Brent Spiner
That job [on Out to Sea], more than any I've ever done, I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning. And not only that, but I had a great part. So it was just beyond fun on every level.
Brent Spiner
I think I worked an average of about 10 minutes a day [in Big Bang Theory series]. It took longer to get to the studio than I actually worked. So I regard the driving there as the actual job. The work itself was just fun.
Brent Spiner
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
I think it's the business part of the word show business that causes me the most concern.
