Well I&#8217;d love to say &#8216;I absorbed every second of it,&#8217; but I got food poisoning. So the lack of absorption was really good. I played hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shatner also spoke about his relationship with his fandom. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how it&#8217;s evolved,&#8221; said Shatner. &#8220;I&#8217;ve always appreciated someone saying &#8220;Hey, we like you.
