“As you’ve read and probably know,we’re all still friends. We’re so fortunate. Other shows are not like that. I’ve done a lot of shows since Star Trek, and I see what the cast feels like in the fourth season. But my memory of the 182 episodes and the seven seasons we did is that I looked forward to going to work every day with the same energy because I knew that when I got there, not only were we going to do some great storytelling, but we were going to have a ball. It was the most wonderful, funny, irreverent, clever group of friends.”
