The inimitable William Shatner

For Trekkies, he’s seen as some form of God. 

But in this long interview with The Guardian, William Shatner (now 90-years-old) looks back on his career and the loves and losses of his life. 

(The Guardian , approx 10 mins reading time)

It feels rude to ask a 90-year-old if he worries about death, so I ask instead what he wishes he had known at 20 that he knows at 90.“Here’s an interesting answer!” he says perkily. “I’m glad I didn’t know because what you know at 90 is: take it easy, nothing matters in the end, what goes up must come down. If I’d known that at 20, I wouldn’t have done anything!”
