"You have done something... I mean, whatever those other guys are doing, I don’t know about that. What you have given me is the most profound experience I can imagine," Shatner told media. "I’m so filled with emotion about what just happened. I just… it’s extraordinary. It’s extraordinary." 

 "I hope I never recover from this. I hope that I can maintain what I feel now. I don’t want to lose it."
