DeForest Kelley quotes:

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

I ran around with the other youngsters, hunting, fishing and raising tadpoles and all the rest.

Star Trek has brought so much of what I want within my grasp.

I m up at 5 in the morning and in bed by 10 in the evening.

Star Trek is perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me, in a career sense.

My father started me singing in church.

I had fallen in love with California.

I refuse to be crude and selfish in any way.

You see, I was the son of a baptist minister.

What I truly miss the most is having sufficient time to do all the things that need to be done around the house and for our friends.

My ambition is peace and perfection.

I have deep feelings for the welfare and comfort of others.

I have considered myself a mature actor.

It was a perfectly average well- adjusted childhood, not a bit unlike that of millions of other individuals.

I once aged 90 years old in one episode.

I have been exposed to a great amount of temptation throughout the course of my career.

I have no aspiration whatsoever to be the next great leading man.
