I've run the marathon several times, so I definitely don't look like the Great Ancestor!

Well, it gives, certainly to my father, who is the one that suffered the most in our family, and understanding of how the ideals of a country are only as good as the people who give it flesh and blood.
George Takei

You know, I grew up in two American internment camps, and at that time I was very young.
George Takei

And it seems to me important for a country, for a nation to certainly know about its glorious achievements but also to know where its ideals failed, in order to keep that from happening again.
George Takei

I spent my boyhood behind the barbed wire fences of American internment camps and that part of my life is something that I wanted to share with more people.
George Takei

My memories of camp - I was four years old to eight years old - they're fond memories.
George Takei

Yes, I remember the barbed wire and the guard towers and the machine guns, but they became part of my normal landscape. What would be abnormal in normal times became my normality in camp.
George Takei

STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.
