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.

BRENT SPINERI didn’t really watch the show [Star Trek]. I still haven’t seen about 150 of them. So I didn’t really think of them too much in terms of episodes. I thought of them as kind of one long seven-year episode.
BRENT SPINERI’ve toyed with this idea [of Fresh Hell] for a long time. I actually wrote a feature years ago with this sort of concept in mind, and it’s gone through several incarnations, and…
BRENT SPINERI’ve actually only seen it once, and it was in Hawaii, in a little theater in Oahu shortly after it was released. But Roland Emmerich is a really smart guy, and he makes really fun movies to watch.
BRENT SPINER[Independence Day] was a sweet, sweet job, because it was one of those big surprises.
BRENT SPINERThe 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.
BRENT SPINERI know a guy who writes on the show, it was his episode, and he called and said, “Would you do it?” And I said, “Yeah.” There’s not really much else to tell, except that I was thrilled to be on The Simpsons, because it’s one of the greatest series in the history of television.
BRENT SPINERPierre [from Dude, Where’s My Car?] could be the best thing I’ve ever done. When you distill it down to a minute and a half of work, that may be my finest effort.
BRENT SPINERIm thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.
BRENT SPINERAny job you can go to and have a laugh everyday has got to be a good job.
BRENT SPINERI assumed, “Well, I must’ve sounded like Conan O’Brien, or a reasonable facsimile or something.” And there I am in the movie [South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut ]. I was very lucky.
BRENT SPINERI think honestly, believe it or not, that Dude, Where’s My Car? in a way represents its time better than almost any film made around that.
BRENT SPINERI think everyone agrees First Contact was our best film, and even at that, they’re kind of… I don’t know, they’re sort of movies. But they’re kind of really Star Trek movies, if you take my meaning. It’s hard for me to say. I was glad to be doing them.
BRENT SPINERMarianne Williamson, who did A Course In Miracles, she was in my high-school drama class, too. So it was kind of an amazing class.
BRENT SPINEROne of the things about working on Star Trek that was always so great was that we all got along as well as we did. We really became family.
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.
