More quotes by William Shatner
I'm anxious to make another film.
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
The good life is one that's artistically made.
William Shatner
We were basically one and the same, although Jim Kirk was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect.
William Shatner
There were many times when I kept silent about being Jewish as I got older, when Jewish jokes were told.
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
I was built for the long run, not for the short dash, I guess.
William Shatner
Why does the lizard stick his tongue out? The lizard sticks its tongue out because that's the way its listening and looking and tasting its environment. It's its means of appreciating what's in front of it.
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
What does God need with a starship?
William Shatner
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
When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.
William Shatner
What is down will go up. At the same time, you have to be prepared for what is up to go down.
William Shatner
I'm always open to the possibility that somebody's got a better idea than I have. It happens with some frequency.
William Shatner
Things people say strike me as amusing, and I am prone to saying out loud what everybody's thinking.
William Shatner
What part of me was born with the courage to stand in front of strangers and risk rejection?
William Shatner
When I direct and have to look at filmed scenes of myself, I suck.
William Shatner
When I'm interviewing somebody I don't work from prepared questions.
William Shatner
I've never been without a dog. I've made trips across the country with a dog. I've been in that angst of loneliness, where you're really alone in the universe, except for the dog.
William Shatner
Death is an absolute marvel.
William Shatner
