I'll always carry that love for the show with me, wherever I go. And when I get to go to Star Trek conventions and meet the fans, and they say how much they love the the show, and then I see their kids, that are ten going 'Oh, Nog's great, I love Nog,' I'm like man, look at this. I'm part of this. I will forever be a part of this. And no one can take that away from me. So, when you ask me what I've left behind, I can't think I've left anything behind, because it's still here with me. Every day."
