William Shatner
Exercise? A Jew doesn't exercise.

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

Mysteries simply are a feast for an active mind.

For example, do I wear a toupee?
William Shatner
One of the advantages of being a captain is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it.
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.
