William Shatner Quotes
I did some professional radio acting as a teenager, and I essentially put myself through college with radio acting in Montreal.

And then I went to Stratford, Ontario, where I spent three years with a Shakespeare company. We took a classical play from Stratford to New York City, and I got some good notices there and essentially stayed and did live television. And that brings you to the beginning of filming.
