More quotes by William Shatner
I think you die the way you live.
William Shatner
You might as well aim high. Why shoot yourself in the foot when you can shoot yourself in the head?
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
All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.
William Shatner
Christmas is fun anyway. It's a myth organized over the years and gained different mythological qualities as the years go by.
William Shatner
I didn't want to do the sitcom thing, but I didn't know what else to do.
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.
William Shatner
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. Blown in the wind and become part of the molecular structure of something else. These things we see as success, they're non-accomplishments.
William Shatner
These people who come to Comic-Con and dress up - all across the country, the rest of the population who doesn't understand are scoffing at them.
William Shatner
My name is William Shatner, and I am Canadian!
William Shatner
I think of doing a series as very hard work. But then I've talked to coal miners, and that's really hard work.
William Shatner
Ads need to be little pieces of entertainment.
William Shatner
I sometimes find that in interviews you learn more about yourself than the person learned about you.
William Shatner
Writing is truly a creative art - putting word to a blank piece of paper and ending up with a full-fledged story rife with character and plot.
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 wife and my three kids and my grandchildren are my life, but my horses and my dogs are everything else.
William Shatner
We live in grief for having left the womb, for having left the teat, then school, then home. In my case, it was leaving marriages, and the death of my wife.
William Shatner
In my proudest moments, I think I had a real hand in the creative force of making 'Star Trek.' But most of the time, I don't think about it.
William Shatner
I've been in a multimedia extravaganza for 50 years and it's gone by so quickly that it's unimaginable. And it's also a major part of my life that has gone by.
William Shatner
We're all embers from the same fire. Our ember winks out, we're ashes, we go back to the fire. I like that image. There has to be a unifying theory. I think there is a continuity of some kind, that my love for my wife will go on past the death of my body. Nature is perfect.
William Shatner
