I don’t know what her budget was or is, but she had sponsors for her show, and we don’t have a sponsor yet, so basically, the difference is, our moms make our costumes.

BRENT SPINERTiming is everything, as you know.
BRENT SPINERThey were nicely written and nicely directed episodes [Star Trek: Enterprise]. I enjoyed working with Scott [Bakula]. So it was good to do, and, as you said, it did serve to enhance the Soong legacy.
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 SPINER[Independence Day] was a sweet, sweet job, because it was one of those big surprises.
BRENT SPINERHaving spent so much time in a fictional world, I prefer to read about the real world
BRENT SPINERActually, I had a really nice part in that movie [Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains]. I mean, I have, like, one second in the final-cut version, where I say “You’re fired” to Diane Lane. That’s about all you see of me.
BRENT SPINEREarl Mills is probably the best role I’ve ever been given in a film. And it was a great experience to work with Halle [Berry] and Klaus Maria Brandauer, an Austrian actor who’s a hero of mine.
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 SPINERIt wasn’t ’til I met Chris Ellis, who directed me in a little thing that was actually for a ride in Universal Singapore, for those of you who happen to be going to Universal Singapore.
BRENT SPINERI don’t know you could do a whole film about Dr. Okun from Independence Day.
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 SPINERPeople think that being on Star Trek is career suicide, but it’s really just the opposite
BRENT SPINERA job is a job. And I like to work.
BRENT SPINERI don’t think everybody wanted to be on [new Star Trek series] . I certainly didn’t.
