Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- In 1993, after a referendum held by the student body, McGill University's Student Union building was unofficially renamed "The William Shatner University Centre". The university administration has not officially recognized the name change since that honor is usually bestowed on deceased members of the community or benefactors who have paid for at least half the cost of construction. Mr. Shatner visited the facility for the first time on March 7, 1999.

- William: (when his tinnitus began to affect him) I was in a terrible state. The more you worry about it, the worse it gets. I couldn't sleep or think, and I even thought about suicide.

- William: (after finding out he was not included in the 2008 "Star Trek" film) How could you not put one of the founding figures into a movie that was being resurrected? That doesn't make good business sense to me!

- William Shatner: I'm not a Star Fleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don't live on Starship NCC-170... or own a phaser. I don't know anyone named Bones, Sulu or Spock. And no, I've never had green alien sex, but I'm sure it'd be quite an evening. I speak English... and French. Not Klingon! I drink Labatt's, not Romulan ale! And when someone says to me "live long and prosper," I seriously mean it when I say, "Get a life." My doctor's name is not McCoy. It's Ginsberg. And tribbles were puppets, not real animals. PUPPETS! And when I speak, I never, ever talk like, Every, Word, Is, Its, Own, Sentence. I live in California, but I was raised in Montreal. And I believe in priceline.com, where you never have to pay full price for airline tickets, hotels, and car rentals! I've appeared onstage at Stratford, at Carnegie Hall, Albert Hall, and the Monkland Theatre in NDG. And, yes, I've gone where no man has gone before, but... I was in Mexico and her father gave me permission! My name is William Shatner, and I am Canadian!
