More quotes by William Shatner
Mysteries simply are a feast for an active mind. And while in my lifetime I've seen science make extraordinary inroads into solving the most complex questions of life, after all this time I admit that I am thrilled that there are some things that forever will remain a mystery. For example, do I wear a toupee?

Conquest is easy. Control is not.

I played comedies and dramas.

I didn't want to do the sitcom thing, but I didn't know what else to do.

People have an affinity towards things, and you don't know where it comes from. Mozart wrote a symphony when he was four, so it's said the theory is maybe because his father was a conductor, it happened in vitro, and he heard the music before he was born, and by the age of four he knew how to write music.

Stop and smell the garlic! That's all you have to do.

William Shatner
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. My dad brought over a large family of Shatners when he was very young. Scraped together the money, got 11 brothers and sisters a passage on the boat. There's a lot of Shatners in Montreal.
William Shatner
Most people, including myself, keep repeating the same mistakes.
William Shatner
I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.
William Shatner
You can't do anything about the past. And you don't know what the future is.
William Shatner
It's easy to say no, I'm not going to do that. I'm not leaving the house.
William Shatner
We were basically one and the same, although Jim Kirk was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect.
William Shatner
Divorce is simply modern society's version of medieval torture. Except it lasts longer and leaves deeper scars. A divorce releases the most primitive emotions the ugliest, raw feelings. Emotionally wounded people do their best to inflict pain upon the other party, but rather than using claws they use divorce lawyers.
William Shatner
My beautiful wife is dead. She meant everything to me. Her laughter, her tears and her joy will remain with me the rest of my life.
William Shatner
I'm a performer, comedian, entertainer, writer and director.

Heroes, classical heroes have the look of eagles, too. They're looking beyond the immediate problem and into the future.

All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.
