My Life Is My Statement And I

The Name Shatner Is Austrian And Partly Germanic, And There's Germanic Reticence And Silence Perhaps, But There Is Passion Underneath.

You Cannot Begin To Imagine The Shock I Had When I Came Down On The Floor For The First Time. First Of All, There's This Whole Thing About Playing Sitcom Comedy. I Didn't Want To Do The Sitcom Thing, But I Didn't Know What Else To Do. I Went Slowly. We Went Through The Week Of Rehearsal, Then We Got On The Floor With The Cameras, Which I'm Used To Because Of My Experience In The Old Days. Then Came Camera Day, With An Audience, And It Was Stunning, Enthralling, Exciting And Chaotic. I Had Never Experienced Anything Like That Before, As An Actor. I Was Part Minstrel, Part Actor.

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.

I Had Been In A Shakespeare Company For Three Years And Done A Lot Of Shakespeare. That Was Fun. That Was Interesting.

I'm Coming Little Animal!.
