- John de Lancie: I decided to be an actor when I was about 15.

- (about annoying experiance with certain Trekkies) John de Lancie: Yes, often times people will set up their little, or I should say their 900mm lens on a tripod and make you think you're in some kind of photoshoot. The other thing I find annoying is when I'm trying to make a phone call in an airport and people are actually tapping me on the shoulder. I've actually had people follow me into the restroom and take pictures of me. It was embarrassing. Since I was in the women's restroom. And they were security guards. But other than that, it's been fun.

- (about is favorite part of creating entertainment) John de Lancie: It's most fun if you spend some time writing, some time producing and some time performing. Just doing one is not as much fun so I enjoy a gamut of possibilities.
