More quotes by William Shatner
Babies have big heads and big eyes, and tiny little bodies with tiny little arms and legs. So did the aliens at Roswell! I rest my case.
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
I love living in Los Angeles.
William Shatner
Here's something pompous - you take your day and artistically create it, so every moment has an artistic flavor.

The essence of paint ball is the fact that when you get hit by a ball full of paint, it hurts just enough to say, 'Ow, I gotta get out of the way,' but not enough to say, 'I quit.'
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
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
If there's anything I'm not pompous about, it's myself or my work. But I seem to be able to play it.
William Shatner
Let women figure out why they won't sleep with you. Don't do their work for them.
William Shatner
All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.
William Shatner
So many dot-com companies were formulated on air.
William Shatner
We live in grief for having left the womb, for having left the teat, then school, then home. In my case, it was leaving marriages, and the death of my wife.
William Shatner
A stage actor has to be 10% aware of the audience as he's performing.
