Quotes

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! (edit)
William Shatner: I'm not a Starfleet commander, or T.J. Hooker. I don't live on Starship NCC-170...or own a phaser. I don't know anybody 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! (edit)
William Shatner: I love technology. Matches, to light a fire is really high tech. The wheel is REALLY one of the great inventions of all time. Other than that I am ignoramus about technology. I once looked for the 'ON' button on the computer and came to find out it was on the back. Then I thought, anyone who would put the 'on' switch on the back, where you can't find it, doesn't do any good for my psyche. The one time I did get the computer on, I couldn't turn the damn thing off! (edit)
William Shatner: I love Montreal. I love the color of the French culture. But Toronto has more memories for me. (edit)
William Shatner: Captain Kirk has been a source of pleasure and income for a long time. (edit)
