The September/October issue of Star Trek Magazine features an interview with William Shatner and here are more excerpts.
Regarding the new Star Trek movie, Shatner said "I had a couple of meetings with J.J. Abrams, but I dont know what those meetings were about when I look back. I have no idea what they were about. And so I have no connection with the film whatsoever. It's the strangest thing. Even my dear friend Leonard [Nimoy] won't tell me what it's about. He clams up. I think perhaps there's an explosive charge in his head, that Abrams put in there, and should he say the words 'Star Trek' it goes off. And he thinks it's a migraine, but it's really his death."
About his latest Star Trek novel, Star Trek Academy Collision Course, Shatner told the magazine "So many of the books I have written have been autobiographical. They followed aspects of my life. We made Kirk suffer and enjoy the things that Shatner did. This one [Collision Course] was about adolescence, and we - Gar and Judith Reeves-Stevens and me - planned this as not only as examination of adolescence, but the book itself is written in a jagged, sort of adolescent form. There was a desire to keep the reader on edge, as active adolescents are. So this was an examination of Kirk and Spock, in their adolescent phase, on their way to becoming the giants of the galaxy."
