More quotes by William Shatner
What have I done? I've blundered my way through life. So I have my picture on the wall. The minute I die, that picture will start to yellow and fade and eventually be gone. Blown in the wind and become part of the molecular structure of something else. These things we see as success, they're non-accomplishments.
William Shatner
I'm anxious to make another film.
William Shatner
I don't think of myself as being tied.
William Shatner
We're all embers from the same fire. Our ember winks out, we're ashes, we go back to the fire. I like that image. There has to be a unifying theory. I think there is a continuity of some kind, that my love for my wife will go on past the death of my body. Nature is perfect.
William Shatner
Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people, how you argue, how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other's point of view?
William Shatner
Avatar is a watershed movie. We'll always refer to Lawrence of Arabia in the same way. We'll always look at Avatar and say, That's about as good as it gets. It's an enormous advance, in every way, shape and form, of movie making.
William Shatner
I'm always open to the possibility that somebody's got a better idea than I have. It happens with some frequency.
William Shatner
I believe in taking what happens as inevitable.
William Shatner
The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such, that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction.
William Shatner
Heroes, classical heroes have the look of eagles, too. They're looking beyond the immediate problem and into the future.
William Shatner
I've come to the conclusion that athletes, when they say they miss the crowd, are not missing the sound of the crowd. What they're missing is the feeling inside that makes the crowd roar. It's not the roar of the crowd, it's the silence inside.
William Shatner
If you make a fool of yourself, you can do it with dignity, without taking your pants down. And if you do take your pants down, you can still do it with dignity.
William Shatner
My boy, that was a TV show. I used a stunt double. I always use a stunt double. Except in love scenes. I insist on doing those myself.
William Shatner
When I direct and have to look at filmed scenes of myself, I suck.
William Shatner
You and I and everybody in show business and the entertainment industry fly by the seat of our pants. We don't know quite what is going to happen.
William Shatner
I'm so not ready to die. It petrifies me. I go alone. I go to a place I don't know. It might be painful. It might be the end. My thought is that it is the end. I become nameless, and I spent a lifetime being known.
William Shatner
How do I stay so healthy and boyishly handsome? It's simple. I drink the blood of young runaways.
William Shatner
When I was out for the Christmas Holidays in school, I would go skiing up to the mountains and there they had Santa on a sled. Pulled by horses and other reindeer, it was a very, very picturesque time and that struck me very emphatically then and has remained with me all this time.
William Shatner
In my proudest moments, I think I had a real hand in the creative force of making 'Star Trek.' But most of the time, I don't think about it.
William Shatner
I always thought that the spine of a character was awe and wonder.
