He says, "I'm a very big Star Trek fan, you see, and, but, no, I couldn't possibly comment. (I haven't been approached) in so many words. "I don't know to tell you the truth, I'm a Star Trek geek, fan, fanatic, so, anything about it could make me cry. But I'm not going to, I'm saving that for the talent show."
