More quotes by William Shatner
You can't do anything about the past. And you don't know what the future is.
William Shatner
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.
William Shatner
Somewhere in university, I realized that I hadn't been to classes in months, and I'd get tired to the point of narcolepsy doing anything other than some form of performing, directing, writing, or acting.
William Shatner
Montreal is a very cosmopolitan, sophisticated, erudite, educated, glorious city today. But it wasn't quite that way when I was growing up there. There was a lot of anti-Semitism. And I had to deal with that in an area of the city that had very few Jews.
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.

We meet aliens every day who have something to give us. They come in the form of people with different opinions.
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
Fate gives you the finger and you accept.
William Shatner
But if you want to know the truth, the weirdest thing that has happened has been my discovery that people who attend the conventions are filled with love.
William Shatner
I also derive a great deal of pleasure from horses and dogs... the ocean... and love.
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?
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
Is this year over yet? Too many people are passing away. Rest In Peace, George Michael.
William Shatner
Sci-fi films are the epic films of the day because we can no longer put 10,000 extras in the scene - but we can draw thousands of aliens with computers.
William Shatner
All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.
William Shatner
I'm a performer, comedian, entertainer, writer and director.
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
We're all embers from the same fire. Our ember winks out, we're ashes, we go back to the fire.
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
When there are tiers of meaning in an ad it intrigues the audience and they look for it again and again.
