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
I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.
William Shatner
You have to create your life. You have to carve it, like a sculpture.
William Shatner

William Shatner
I believe that when things happen, they happen with a purpose.
William Shatner
There's a joy and a pain about directing where the dreams you have are becoming concrete but the attention to detail, the need for time is such that it's overwhelming at times, and the stream of responsibility.
William Shatner
Energy is the key to creativity. Energy is the key to life.
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
My wife and my three kids and my grandchildren are my life, but my horses and my dogs are everything else.
William Shatner
I've never not appeared in front of a live audience for any longer period than a month or two.
William Shatner
Everyone knows everything about all of us. That's too much knowledge!
William Shatner
