More quotes by William Shatner
Pain and guilt can't be taken away with the wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain!
William Shatner
Youth is the ultimate limited resource.
William Shatner
I think you die the way you live.
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
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

William Shatner

William Shatner
Every piece of entertainment is made with the idea that 'This is going to be terrific' and 'This is the best thing I've ever done' and then it hits the public and then the public tells you whether it's good or bad.
William Shatner
It's I who have to talk fast. It's you who have to think fast.
William Shatner
The good life is one that's artistically made.
William Shatner
Is there a God? There is, but we don't know where. Or who. And, indeed, why.
William Shatner
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
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
I had been in a Shakespeare company for three years and done a lot of Shakespeare. That was fun. That was interesting. It was a lot of work - anything other than Shakespeare was less work. I had a lot of interesting roles, but I don't point to them and say, That was more interesting than that, because I don't know what the criteria are.
William Shatner
The ability to breathe the air and drink the water will be what the wars will be about from here on in. And it's coming with alarming rapidity.
