William Shatner Shares Surprising Take on Turning 95 (Exclusive)
Captain Kirk always described space as the final frontier—where no man has gone before.
But 60 years after the USS Enterprise embarked on its voyage to explore strange new worlds in Star Trek, William Shatner shared his surprising take on the iconic line.
"It's not final," the actor said during an exclusive E! News interview. "Death is the final frontier, and maybe even not that."
"If you look at quantum physics," he continued, "you may have reason to hope that when we die, we don't disappear. Our energy goes back home."
The 95-year-old's thoughts about the final frontier aren't the only reflections that have changed over the last 60 years. Although he may have considered himself the reason behind the sci-fi show's success, Shatner now knows what it really took to make a culture-defining project.
"We have a great cast, great writers," he emphasized. "We have the best plots, we have the best sets. We are telling human stories and the future exists."
"Star Trek takes place 400 years from now," he continued. "Humankind is still there. We've got futuristic things that we fly to the planets and the stars. Nobody dies and everybody's happy."
Something that hasn't changed for the Boston Legal alum? How alive he feels.
"I feel energized, and I'm focused and I feel great," he said. "I don't know what 95 feels like. Every time I hear the number 95, I go, 'Who? Who? Who's 95 here?'"
As for how he stays healthy, Shatner keeps it pretty simple. As he put it, "I lead a healthy life. I essentially don't drink. I don't smoke."

Among his lifestyle choices is working with LifeWave, a life technology company led by David Schmidt that uses phototherapy patches to improve the body's health.
As part of his partnership with the company, Shatner starred in their viral short film The World's Oldest Intern.
"I'm very, very proud and happy to be with LifeWave and apropos of making that film, which got very popular," Shatner praised, "in their wisdom, David and company decided to make two more."
While fans wait to see Shatner, Jeri Ryan and Jonathan Frakes in the sequels to The World's Oldest Intern, keep reading for movies to keep an eye out for.
