411mania.com posted a new interview with Star Trek star William Shatner, in which he talks about his new prequel novel The Academy Collision Course, written with Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, on sale now. Here are few excerpts.
Tony Farinella: And my first question for you is after so many different roles on television and film, what still gets you excited? What gets your creative juices flowing after all these years?
William Shatner: Well, Tony, so many things. I'm, I think what an actor needs, or an entertainer in any of the various media, is a sort of childlike attitude of awe and wonder. And so as I move through the days and the week and the year, I find myself doing a variety of things that when they are finished and they have some success, I'm almost surprised.
I was mentioning "Exodus" as an example. It took two years to put this project together and issue the recording. I've done it myself, found a release, and it will be out there in Wal-Mart sort of thing, and it's a really good performance of a, something that's totally different, and it's got a religious overtone, or a religious-historical overtone, and yet it's entertaining.
I've got a book out there, a new book that's coming out--a Star Trek book. It's called "Collision"--"Academy--The Collision." And it's out there in the bookstores right now. A new Star Trek book dealing with the adolescents Kirk and Spock, and I started writing about a 17-year-old Jim Kirk and a 19-year-old Spock and took the Soldiers of Darfur, the tragedy that's going there, the children soldiers, made them, updated them 300 years to a scourge that was happening then, and what the plans were going to be with Kirk and Spock adolescents.
Tony Farinella: Uh-huh.
William Shatner: That entertained me to tell that story. It entertained me to get this record going, and it's entertained me to do this voice-over, this narration for "Stalking Santa." So my year goes by, and you say, "Why pick that project?" and I sort of reverse the question and say, "Why not?" If I've got the time and energy, I like to do these variable things.
