“If he (Spock) didn’t have any emotions, he wouldn’t be interesting. Actually, Spock does have a sense of compassion though he won’t allow himself to believe that. I admire his logic. It’s so uncluttered. I appreciate the ability to be precise. I like to think that I am logical—but sometimes I look back and wonder if the things I do are logical.”

“I considered acting an opportunity to express emotions—and I took advantage of every opportunity l got. It took me a long time to discover that restraint can be admirable. Restraint, however, does not mean lack of emotion. The thing that irks me is lack of emotion trying to pass for restraint. Lack of emotion is pathological; restraint is civilized.”

“I’m much more emotional than Mr. Spock. Spock rarely betrays what he is thinking or feeling. He’s fun to portray. But I hope I won’t explode one of these days.”
