What have I done? I've blundered my way through life. So I have my picture on the wall. The minute I die, that picture will start to yellow and fade and eventually be gone.

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

William Shatner
My kids say if there's any family dinner that doesn't result in somebody crying, it's not a good dinner. They cry because it helps relieve them of a guilt or some onerous emotional burden. It's like a family tradition.
William Shatner
I want to discover a truth for myself that is really true. Whether it's a piece of scientific knowledge, or a philosophical truth.
William Shatner
What part of me was born with the courage to stand in front of strangers and risk rejection?
William Shatner
We meet aliens every day who have something to give us. They come in the form of people with different opinions.
William Shatner
I can't stand the gossip of celebrities' lives, all the time! Every minute!
William Shatner
I did a movie in Esperanto.
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.
