The interviewer is a fan for more than 30 years and has got knowledge about Leonard’s other work and religious background. It also is an interview which is published in a book. Unfortunately, neither the book’s title nor the interviewers name is known. This is a short summary of that interview.

"So, how can I help you out?" Leonard Nimoy opens the conversation. The interviewer begins with his visit to JPL and the esteem in which the NASA engineers hold Spock’s memory.
Nimoy nods attentively. "I've always felt there was a specific and easily identifiable symbiosis between NASA and Star Trek. Certainly, we’ve been welcome at NASA because of that and, certainly, NASA was useful and helpful to the Star Trek process. ... I've often speculated on how much effect that [the landing on the moon] had on the future success of Star Trek." Mission Impossible, A Woman Called Golda, Three Men and a Baby a. o. work is mentioned.

Both wonder why Nimoy is not approached as much when visiting overseas.
Nimoy shares what he experienced when talking to the extremely chauvinistic Japanese translator of Star Trek: "He said 'I must make changes in the Star Trek novels for Japanese audience.' I said 'What kind of changes?' And he said 'Aaaa! Too much, ah, familiarity with crew and captain! Japanese culture does not accept that kind of familiarity: Dr, McCoy and Mr. Spock with Captain Kirk! Authority figures demand more respect. Not appropriate conversation in star Trek!' I told him that one of the things Star trek was about was the camaraderie between people. 'Not acceptable for Japanese audience!' said he. I came back and told this to Gene Roddenberry. I was shocked by it. I thought ‘This is an amazing misuse of power by this man – to decide how Star Trek should be interpreted for Japan.' "[This story Leonard told in Bellaria at the Italian Star Trek Convention in 2002]

 Q: " ... Why does Spock strike such a universal chord? What is it about Spock himself that resonates so deeply with people?"
LN: "I think it operates on a lot of levels. Early on, when the show first went on the air, I was receiving mounds and mounds of fan mail from little kids. They couldn’t have had any concept of what Spock was about, except that he was strange and interesting-looking man, one who didn’t frighten them. And then there is the aspect of Spock’s distance, Spock’s coolness, which played well in the sixties, when ‘cool’ was important.
I’ve also read pieces by women that describe Spock as someone whom women wanted to nurture, as he seemed to need the warmth that a woman can offer.
There was also the challenge of 'Could I be the one to "awaken" Spock? Could I be the one who can help him get to get in touch with his sexuality and his intimacy?' "

The interviewer shares his that the character has gotten under his skin, but not because of sexuality or nurturing.
Nimoy answers that it has to do with the balance between the right and the left side of the brain, yin/yang, ...
"He chooses to downplay, ignore, deny his emotions – but he has them."

Q: "Would you say then, that there’s something Spock has ultimately bequeathed you?"
LN: "I am sure I didn’t used to think about these issues quite so consciously. I have been changed by him." ...
 

About Alien Voices: Q.. "Not the Jurassic ..."
LN: "No, Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh, oh, oh. Deadly. Terrible." Alien Voices is a project with integrity and sizzle. It is, essentially, a labor of love.
