When I was 20 I saw Nimoy in a NYC subway train. I recognized who it was he looked up I smiled at him he gave back a polite return grin. In NY you don't go up to people, you leave them alone. Thats my Nimoy story.

While checking myself in the mirror I saw out of the corner of my eye John Belushi taking a leak at a urinal in the men's room of a movie theater in Manhattan. He noticed I noticed, put his finger up to his lips as if to say, "shh", I smiled, he smiled back, I left, and that was that. That's my Belushi story. The movie was "Jaws", by the way.

Leonard used Spock as a philosophical tool- very erudite and reflective. He was a great guy, took a little bit of his heritage (shin/Shekhinah) and used it to wonderful effect. This is the truest realization of bringing your culture with you.

What I really liked in this interview, is that aside from the COPD discussion, much of it were questions that Nimoy has answered a million times yet he took it and answered with humor and interest. He seemed glad to be there and share. Many, many actors don't want to talk about the "old days", they just want to push whatever new book or activity they are involved with.

Bless this fine great man. May he rest in peace. A great interview.

I was a Respiratory Therapist for 30 years and I noticed that Mr. Nimoy was using his accessory muscles to breath for some time before this was announced. I know people are saying he looked good here but to me I see his decline as very evident. So heartbreaking. COPD is a slow strangling end. Please if you don’t smoke DON’T START!

He gave to others...all the way to the end...even by the giving of himself to this interview...a real class act indeed. RIP Sir.

Therese Bohn people do not want to quit unless they want to quit....did the CDC commercials or warnings on the pack stop Mr. Nimoy. No, it did not.

As much pain as he was going through, he took it like a champ and it never affected his character. He always had a smile. He was a TRUE MANLY MAN AND HE HAD A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.

The only time I EVER watched an entire Piers Morgan show; Leonard Nimoy I think is a very good reason. R.I.P. Mr. Spock, you will live long and prosper in many people's memories.

He was utterly excellent.

It's 2019 and I gotta say, that void of losing Leonard Nimoy couldn't be filled with all interactions of enterprises. Still miss the one and only Mr Spock.

God Bless You Leonard, you will be missed. I grew up watching Star Trek, one of the finest TV shows and ahead of it's time for sci-fi shows. Thanks for all those years of enjoyment 'Spock'.

Nimoy was such a wonderful actor. I've looked up to him since before I can remember, and, as it turned out, he was a wonderful human being, too.

Sad to hear Bill and Leonard weren't close at the end.

Sad that he would pass away a year later. A great talent indeed. It is obvious that Shatner and him were not close during the last year or so. Very sad, but at least Mr. Nimoy was a pro with his answer in regards to their friendship.

What a guy. Died Feb of 2015 almost exactly a year after this interview.

Such a lovely man, R.I.P.

According to Shatner, at the time of this interview they hadn't spoken for four years. Leonard died one-year later. R.I.P., Mr. Nimoy...

I had the pleasure to work with Len and he was immensely talented and kind.

R.I.P. Mr. Nimoy, and Thank you!!

I saw the first Star trek motion picture 1980 I think. It was at a theater in Eugene Oregon. When William shatner's name came on the screen everyone gave him on applause. When Leonard Nimoy's name came on the screen He got a standing ovation! These folks were the catalyst for what we now call cosplay. Star trek conventions were really the very first true science fiction conventions of any note. The first one he ever went to drew 27,000 people and had to shut it down because there were so many people there.

Please don't smoke. Thank you, Mr. Nimoy, we owe you much!

I don't know what it was about Nimoy, but he always struck me as such a unique guy.

My husband & I met & spoke with Mr. Nimoy in Dayton, Ohio in 1980. (Thank you, again, for the opportunity, Louise Strange!) We had enjoyed his one-man show, "Vincent", at the Victoria Theatre. He was very gracious & personable, & appreciated our politeness & decorum. He is greatly missed.

Thank You for sharing this recording

Good bye Mr. Spock RIP, we will never forget you as you has been part our our childhood.

Copd killed him soon after. I'm having a smoke as I watch this. I'm quitting tomorrow after 33 years paying a fortune to throw away my health. It might be too late for me now but I'm not giving another penny to the death trade. Miss you Leonard!

***** My father went to school with him at Boston English High School. I have his yearbook and there are photos of him in it. But I never even knew my father knew Leonard Nimoy until years after my father died. He never told me. I was going through his old things and found the yearbook and a birthday card Mr. Nimoy gave him. I was a HUGE Star Trek fan as a kid. At first I didn't believe it or thought it was a different Leonard Nimoy but then I asked my Mom about it and she confirmed that it was true. There were only a few hundred of those yearbooks printed. I just wish I had thought to get Mr. Nimoy to autograph if. I'm sure he would have. It and the card are among my most prized possessions. I just don't understand all those times we sat around the TV watching Star Trek together and my parents just never mentioned my Dad knew him, especially the year my brother and I dressed up as Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock for Halloween. I think I was ten and my brother was 7. I wanted to be Spock but my brother had a better face for it.

I use herbs from my herb garden to season my food and yes there are some things that can be treated by herbs, but again, cancer isn't one of them. As for chiropractors, they are all quacks. There is no actual science to back it up. As for huge difference, it made a huge difference to my aunt, it killed her.

Leonard Nimoy is with the Red Shirts now :( a friend of mine, his father was a officer in the British Army, a Doctor I remember him telling us that even if you smoke for a while then give up there is still filth in your lungs that never goes, they are never as clean as they were before someone started smoking They get you when young, some kids think it's a way to rebel not realising the rich families and big corporations are the ones making almost 100% profit on them it's more conformity that rebelling. it's not nice visiting old friends or family member on their death bet crying and wishing they never started in the first place
