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.

More quotes by Brent Spiner
In my heart, I've never left Brazil.
Brent Spiner
Hollywood has more than its share of harsh and crewel stories. In fact, it's probably more the norm than the exception.
Brent Spiner
I did have a tiny moment in a TV movie called My Sweet Charlie, starring Patty Duke.

When I get to work with people I admire, it's such a bonus, so it was an easy sell when I got this phone call asking, 'Will you do this thing with David Strathairn?' Also, they didn't ask me to audition, which is another bonus. But they said, All your scenes will be with David, and I said, I'm there!
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
Voice acting is about the easiest thing to do. You roll out of bed, throw your clothes on that you had on the night before, you go into the studio, and nobody cares, just as long as you can speak.

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.

[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 don't read fiction at all.
Brent Spiner
I mean, I'm the tag of the [ Big Bang Theory ] show! That was one of the easiest jobs I've ever had.
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
It just occurred to me that there are some beautiful shots [in Rent Control] with the World Trade Center in the background.
Brent Spiner
Generally, I have to be able to get the lines out of my mouth without making a mistake before I go to sleep.
Brent Spiner
I got to play a funny part [in the The Master Of Disguise]. There was one thing my character did that involved flatulence and laughing at the same time - that was in the script - and that was basically what sold me on it. I really thought, This can't help but be funny. And when I saw the film, I was proud that I'd had those moments.
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 don't think everybody wanted to be on [new Star Trek series] . I certainly didn't.
Brent Spiner
Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre, the guys who run that show [Big Bang Theory], are really funny and really smart, and the cast is fantastic to work with.
Brent Spiner
I really enjoyed Eddie Bracken. He told me a great story. He did The Odd Couple on Broadway, replacing Art Carney, and he said, Art Carney did it for six months and I did it for three years, and I don't think anyone I've ever spoken to saw me. They all saw Art Carney.
Brent Spiner
No, actually I'm trying to stay away from the big screen.
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.
