Ironically, I had virtually no interest in science fiction. It was not on my bedside table for reading, it was not something that I was a follower of. I didn�t know anything about the original Star Trek outside of the fact that it was a cultural phenomenon.

I like contemporary American literature and I like biographies and I like jazz and I like baseball and I like writers who write about the human condition and sci-fi is just something that I happened into. Don�t get me wrong, I�m very thankful for all the aliens I�ve met and loved.

It�s ironic that because of my connection with Star Trek my role [seems to be] official spokesperson for all things paranormal, [so] these projects come my way. As a result that�s what I have found myself doing.
