That's what kids were like then. So I really like the movie [Dude, Where's My Car? ], I think it's genuinely funny, and I wish I hadn't been so arrogant about it. And, of course, I didn't know it was going to be my best work, either.

More quotes by Brent Spiner
Harry [ Hannigan] and Chris [Ellis] are sitting there while we're doing [ Fresh Hell], and Chris is directing, obviously, but if we start fooling around a little bit, Harry comes in, and he's got some addition that makes it even funnier. But we start with a complete script.

Generally, I have to be able to get the lines out of my mouth without making a mistake before I go to sleep.

I think it was somewhere around age 3 when I fell down the stairs at my house, and I got up and did a Jerry Lewis impression and got a big laugh. And I thought, Oooh, I like that. I think I need to do this for a living!
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.

I think there is something like 90% unemployment in the Screen Actors Guild, so we are the exception.

[Voice acting] is such an easy job. It's like stealing money, really. Which I'm always happy to do.

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.

I'm, like, y'know, I didn't have a problem doing one scene in Dude, Where's My Car? I'm certainly not going to have a problem doing one scene in a [Martin] Scorsese movie!

Rent Control was an interesting movie. It was directed by... I had done a couple of plays off Broadway, and this Italian director came, his name was Gian Luigi Polidoro, and he determined I was the person to play the lead in his low-budget comedy. He'd won an award at the Venice Film Festival, and... He was, y'know, a skilled director.

I don't think everybody wanted to be on [new Star Trek series] . I certainly didn't.
Brent Spiner
[ Felicia Day] is really figured it all out, and it was impressive. It was nothing like our set, because her set was like working on a real film.
Brent Spiner
Dana Carvey is hilarious. He's a really, really funny, talented guy. You know, I can't think of anything I've ever done that I regret doing, and I certainly don't regret doing Master Of Disguise, because I got to hang around Dana.

There is no question that everybody who works in show business is lucky because of the number of people who wish they where working in show business.

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

I didn't audition or anything like that. But I went into John Loganhis office... It was his screening room in his office, actually, and I sat and schmoozed with him for about two minutes, which I think is standard, and, y'know, we got on fine.

A job is a job. And I like to work.

Hollywood has more than its share of harsh and crewel stories. In fact, it's probably more the norm than the exception.

Timing is everything, as you know.

Im thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.
Brent Spiner
The one on Fresh Hell is a little easier, because we make it up. It's a strange kind of hybrid of the real me and... Well, obviously it's me standing there, and it's my voice and my face, but it's also kind of filtered through Harry Hannigan's take on the character, the one he's writing.
