Every night Quote by James Doohan
“For three or four years I resented it. I got very angry when people would say, 'Well, you're Scotty.' Casting directors, producers, directors would say this to me and then they would go home every night and watch me on 'Star Trek.' After those three or four years, I got used to it.”
