Brent Jay Spiner Quotes

• [September 12, 2006] I don’t think I should play Data anymore. I think I’m too old to play him anymore to be honest. I think it would look stupid putting that make-up on me at this point. There certain characters that I think work in a youthful way and I think I really skated along the edge in the last couple movies as it was.
• [on his Lt. Commander Data action figure] At first, I was reluctant. But then I figured, if it’s good enough for Alec Guinness, then it’s good enough for me.
