• "I've been working with Bill Shatner yea these 40-plus years. He never seems to get it right. I gave him, 'It's Takei, as in way.' I even said, 'as in gay,' he says. Finally, "I told him, 'It's Takei, rhymes with toupee.' I thought that would do it."
  • An interview with ReviewJournal in which he describes how he advised William Shatner, who reportedly could never pronounce his name correctly, how to say it aloud. The final method is intentionally humerous, as William Shatner has a wig.[[1]]
