Interview
In this interview, Nimoy talks about the character, Spock.
Just before we started shooting the show we had to experiment with four or five different types of ears, and we were not happy with any of them. And I felt a little nervous about it. I though it’ll be awful funny if these ears don’t look right. And I went to Gene and I asked him to give the up the idea of the pointed ears. And he said no he wouldn’t, we’re gonna keep working on this, and we’ll get it right eventually. I promise you if you do the show with the ears, at the end of 13 episodes, if you’re not happy I’ll write you a script where you get an ear job.

Int: When did you start to develop the theatrical side of your music?
PG: I think it came naturally… I had started to do a bit of mime and it increased with the music…and this last year it became more exaggerated than it was before…
Int: Who do you think you imitate the best ?
PG: Alice Cooper, I spent six months in the US to imitate him… and I watched 17 films of him on stage, just to copy his movements almost exactly… and David Bowie, I’ve been living with him for the last three years, which allowed me to understand a lot of his technique…
Int: But you’re the only one (in the band) to be theatrical…
PG: Of course, they’re all busy with their instruments…
TB: He’s singing, but there are a lot of moments where he doesn’t and so he must do something to get paid as much as the others…
Int: And you’ve never been tempted to act like him ? … it seems to me that Peter is the pop star, as if the others only play as a support band…
PG: No, Tony is having tap dancing lessons and next time we play in France he will do five minutes of tap dancing… and Steve does some numbers by Maurice Chevalier…
MR: The point to remember is that the theatrical side always enhances the music rather than the music…

When I was real small I saw the original Wizard of Oz, the Judy Garland version. I always fell in love with the scarecrow I think most kids do ’cause you feel sorry for him and everything and his character, and I always watched him. Matter fact I had the step down they did when I was around six. Follow the yellow brick road!
