- James Doohan: What shocked me, my manager called me up one day and told me that I was going to do a video on "Cold Fusion: Fire from Water" and I couldn't believe it. I couldn't wait to get there and start working on it.

- James Doohan: I really didn't have to work, shall we say, with Star Trek. It was a natural. When I opened my mouth, there was Scotty. It's like I tell people what you see in Scotty is 99% James Doohan and 1% accent.
  Edit Share Hide
- James Doohan: That's the responsibility of all actors: to keep your character as vibrant as possible. I just live my life and I like my characters to live that life, too. At least Scotty, anyway, because Scotty is the closest to Jimmy Doohan that I've ever done.
