“I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.” — William Shatner Quote

“I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.”

“Nobody could have imagined the phenomenon that 'Star Trek' became. It's still almost impossible to imagine.”

“Getting that audience approval is always a question mark, and it's always that flag that flutters in front of you.”

“The women who don't feel that people think they're sexy are the ones who seem to titillate in that way, because they don't feel like they're getting that kind of approval.”

“I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.”

“Often, when people ask me what I read as a young girl, I lie. Or, I should say, I lie by omission. I tell them about my brilliant fourth-grade teacher, Miss Artis, who assigned us 'Johnny Tremain' and 'Where the Red Fern Grows' and 'Tuck Everlasting,' all books that made an impression on me. And people nod in approval.”
