My mother was born in the city, my dad was an immigrant. Probably from Germany. Could have been Austria, could have been Poland. The borders were changing.

I proceeded to prove everybody right as to how bad an economics student I was by failing as an assistant manager in every theatre I went to that hired me, both as an assistant manager and as an actor. I lost money and tickets, and I couldn't keep track of anything. So eventually they fired me from assistant-manager jobs, but kept me on as an actor.
William Shatner
Ads need to be little pieces of entertainment.
William Shatner
I sometimes find that in interviews you learn more about yourself than the person learned about you.
William Shatner
Memories were the markers of the journey through life. It was necessary to know where you had come from. Only then could you know where you were going.
William Shatner
Careers are here and they're gone. No matter how great we think we are, we're nothing but the temples of Ozymandias-we're ruins in the making.
William Shatner
I'm not going to have a tombstone. I'm going to be tossed in the air. Ashes, tossed like a salad.
