The Seattle Times posted a new interview with Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy and here are few excerpts.
Q: How do you feel about being typecast as the super-rational Spock?
A: I've always thought of myself as a character actor. I never saw myself as a leading man, or romantic lead kind of guy. ... On the other hand, there are certain types of roles people would expect I would be able to manage, and I take that as a good thing. It has kept me working as an actor constantly. Ever since "Star Trek" went on the air, I haven't had any problems finding work, so for me, typecasting was a good thing. I found a niche for myself as an actor.
Q: How do you feel about passing the torch of Spock to Zachary Quinto, who plays a young version of the character in the 2009 remake of "Star Trek"?
A: I enjoyed it thoroughly. It thought that it had a wonderful script, a great cast, wonderful people. Zachary Quinto, I think was a wonderful actor. ... I was very flattered with how the character was written, with great dignity and strength and purpose and intelligence. I'm very pleased that the character is in good hands.
Q: Do you think "Star Trek" was robbed at Oscars?
A: It's sad that "Star Trek" has been so unrecognized over so many years. I was delighted that at least it won a makeup award. ... I think that I'm correct in saying that that's the first Academy Award that "Star Trek" has ever won. ... There've been some wonderful achievements in technology, in special effects, photography and story, ... but "Avatar" was an enormous accomplishment as a motion picture and still it did not win best director or best film.
Q: What do you want your legacy to be?
A: I think others will have to decide what my legacy is. ... I do what I find interesting and do it the best I know how, and live my life fully and thoroughly as possible. ... One thing I cannot do is predict the future.

Plus, MyNorthwest.com also posted a brief interview with Mr Nimoy and here are excerpts.
Regarding the success of TOS, he said it was the great stories that kept the series alive. "That's why it's lasted so long. It's not just about ships, and chasing, and guns, and explosions. I mean we have our share of that, but there's also some very interesting ideas behind all of the episodes and they're good stories."
Nimoy says he's pleased with the work Zachary Quinto did with the famous character.
"It made me very proud that the character was strong enough that it could be passed onto someone else so successfully. I'm very proud of him. I'm very proud of the movie."
