DeForest Kelley On...

Miscellaneous things I don't know where else to put

Can I stand the sight of blood? Not very well. If you had seen that skit last night, I couldn't... I wasn't able to see anything. No, that doesn't bother me too much. No, I'm pretty good at looking at blood, especially at blood and arrows. (Laughter)

[If you could be anybody for a day, past or present, who would it be and why?]

Anybody past or present? And who would it be and why? No, I've been very happy with my life and I don't know of anyone that I would have cared to be or would want to be. Up to this point, I've been blessed with good health. I've had some marvelous experiences and I've been very fortu­nate in this life. I would settle for what God gave me this time. (applause)

[Q: does Vulcan salute still hurt worse than the dress uniform?]

Oh, god, does that hurt worse. It hurts me every time I do it. It’s the reason I have to pull these fingers apart. I can do it with my right hand, but I can’t do it with my left hand.
[Convention: Los Angeles, 10/24/87]

[Q: do you really drink mint juleps?]

I’ve tried those juleps a coupla times in Atlanta. It’s a little potent stuff for me. I stay with the Saurian Brandy.
