Wil Wheaton's quotes

  • [Interview magazine, 2005] I am a huge geek. And Star Trek was a haven for geeks.
  • (On his teenage years) I was such a geek that if I could go back in time, I would kick my own ass.
  • [on the death of Majel Barrett Roddenberry, December 19, 2008] We always had fun when we were working on Next Generation, but when Majel was on the set, it was a party.
  • [on his frequent appearances on The Big Bang Theory (2007) as "himself"] I'm not really a jerk but I have fun playing one.
  • I was obsessed with Ghostbusters (1984).
  • Even when I was little, people would always ask me if I wanted to be a movie star, and I would always say, "No, I just want to be an actor."
  • If the world were a bar, America would currently be the angry drunk waving around a loaded gun. Yeah, the other people in the bar may be afraid of him, but they sure as hell don't respect him.
  • I spent a lot of my childhood not fitting in, in a lot of different ways.
  • I guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.
  • Even when I was little and going on auditions, it was clear who was there because they wanted to be there, and who was there because their stage parents were making them be there. There was a major difference.
  • When you say a 'former child star', you may as well say 'failed child star'.
  • People who don't want to give a creator money are never going to give a creator money.
  • One of the things that drives me crazy is the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things.
  • When you get a group of kids together, especially boys, the psychology of those kids requires that they find a weak kid or a sensitive kid or a soft kid.
  • My wife is the most awesome person in the universe. She's made this experience much less miserable for me, with her compassion, patience and understanding.
  • I've done a lot of geeky things in my life, but I think the geekiest of all was my first effort to build props and cosplay, when I was about twelve years-old.
  • I would love to find myself in a position where I have to decide, "Gosh, do I want to be on a series?".
