William Shatner – HuffPost 10.11.13

Mike Ragogna: Bill, what advice do you have for new artists?

William Shatner: Musical artists? I can’t be so callow as to think I could offer advice for a musical artist, but I may be able to say to any artist, it’s very difficult, following your dream is very rare, so make the best of it.

MR: Did you follow your dream?

WS: I certainly did.

MR: So what do you think of that dream so far?

WS: Well, I managed to pull it off, but there are thousands of other people that haven’t, and that’s the tragedy. You try to follow a dream and it gradually pales and then you wake up and the rent is due and you don’t have the funds to pay it.
