Quotable Quotes:

"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."

"[on the famous 'Yeoman Rand' basketweave hairstyle from Star Trek (1966)] It was so heavy it kept listing to the left, I swear they had to nail that thing to my head! It was gorgeous Max Factor hair. It cost a lot of money and somebody stole it. I still have visions of that damn wig turning up. I go down to Skid Row for my recovery program - I'm clean and sober now - and I keep expecting to find some bag lady or drag queen wearing it!" (IMDB)
