....shatner rules: your guide to understanding the shatnerverse and the world at large by william shatner with chris regan and found out some interesting things;

• that "william shatner" or just "shatner" is different than bill shatner. the first is a loud, egotistical over actor & the second is calmer, kinder & just wants to spend time with his horses, dogs, wife, children & grand-children. not necessarily in that order.
• he is tired of people yelling "beam me up scotty!" at him.
• he started to take star trek more seriously when he saw that patrick stewart did.
• he really doesn't understand why the rest of the cast (other than nimoy & kelly) hate(d) him so much. they accused him of stealing the spotlight, but he says that every series has a star & that star naturally gets to be center stage.
• he was a vegetarian for a brief time.
• he regrets doing the comedy central roast.
