Andrew Robinson's Quotes
- [on writing his first Star Trek book] People were worried that somehow, by writing this book I was going to give up that mystery of Garak, and Garak now was going to be completely understood, but I think just the opposite happened.
- You learn from your failures - at least I do. When things go right, you don't sit down and analyze them. But when something goes wrong, I sit and analyze and consider and get introspective. In personal life or professional, not succeeding teaches you more.
- [on his role in Dirty Harry (1971)] If I had a buck for every guy, and it's always a guy by the way, who has come up to me and quoted that line in its entirety to me. ("I know what you're thinking... Well do ya, PUNK!") I gotta tell you, I'd be a rich man, now.
