More quotes by William Shatner
You have to continuously fail. You fail at something, then you get over it, then you fail some more. And after you fail, there's always something new there. And that something new can be really interesting.
William Shatner
This is my saddest story: In grade school, they would have us open our Valentine's cards and read them out loud. I always sent cards to myself because nobody else did.
William Shatner
I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.
William Shatner
We were basically one and the same, although Jim Kirk was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect.
William Shatner
It was the early 1970s and I was recently divorced. I had three kids and was totally broke. I managed to find work back east on the straw-hat circuit - summer stock - but couldn't afford hotels, so I lived out of the back of my truck, under a hard shell.
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
Getting that audience approval is always a question mark, and it's always that flag that flutters in front of you.
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
My plan has always been to return to Broadway every 50 years.
William Shatner
What part of me was born with the courage to stand in front of strangers and risk rejection?
William Shatner
I love the concept of togetherness and the entwinement of marriage.
William Shatner
Gradually the live TV scene simmered out, replaced by film, and that took place in L.A. So many actors left New York.
William Shatner
Fate gives you the finger and you accept.
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.

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
I did a movie in Esperanto.
William Shatner
A sense of the unknown has always lured mankind and the greatest of the unknowns of today is outer space. The terrors, the joys and the sense of accomplishment are epitomized in the space program.
William Shatner
Spencer Tracy was a man who did very much what I do on a set, and that is, he comes down and he does his job, and then he goes back to his dressing room.
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'm so not ready to die. It petrifies me. I go alone. I go to a place I don't know. It might be painful. It might be the end. My thought is that it is the end. I become nameless, and I spent a lifetime being known.
William Shatner
