William Shatner’s Interview with Rush Limbaugh on Raw Nerve
William and Rush Pt 1 of 3
“I hated school because it’s what everybody else had to do. I hated being locked up from the second grade on in a room…”
“Eight years old is when I knew I wanted to go into radio because I’m sitting there getting ready to go to school I don’t want to go to. My mother’s fixing breakfast. She’s got the radio on. The guy on the radio’s having fun. And I know, nine or ten o’clock, he’s finished and he’s not going to some room, having to learn to paste.”
“My childhood was spent in duress and in silent protest.”
“Every year I wanted to be older. When I was ten, I wanted to be 20, when I was 20, I wanted to be 25… ‘Cause I knew it was going to get better. I was going to have more freedom. I was going to have more opportunity. I was going to be treated different because I was an adult. And it’s been true. Every year of my life has been better.”
