I could barely get thru the first page of this interview. The reporter is a typical NY Times metro-tulip. I don’tknow why Shatner (who really is a great actor) would subject himself to the snipes he gets from this reporter.
I think it's because Shatner really doesn't give a rusty rat's ass whether the reporter likes him or not. He strikes me as a very confident person who likes himself and who figures if somebody doesn't like him, so what?
