James Doohan's quotes

  • I like Captain Kirk, but I can't say that I'm very fond of Bill Shatner (William Shatner).
  • I really didn't have to work, shall we say, with Star Trek. It was a natural. When I opened my mouth, there was Scotty. It's like I tell people what you see in Scotty is 99% James Doohan and 1% accent.
  • That's the responsibility of all actors: to keep your character as vibrant as possible. I just live my life and I like my characters to live that life, too. At least Scotty, anyway, because Scotty is the closest to Jimmy Doohan that I've ever done.
  • [1998] I wish I could say that Bill (William Shatner) is a nice man, but he isn't.
