Shatner’s Ego Grows

This cracked me up.
William Shatner apparently watched some old “Star Trek” episodes and decided that his portrayal of Captain Kirk was quite good:

“I haven’t seen myself playing Captain Kirk in a long, long time,” he says. “And I watched it now, from my perspective of 40 years later, and I thought, ‘You know, that’s rather good.’ It’s a starship captain trying to do the accent, the Noo Yawk accent, trying to play tough, trying to be one of the guys. It’s not quite right, but it’s what a starship captain would have done — a decent imitation, enough to fool those guys but not the audience.”
