Leonard and I seemed to be bound by fate to be friends. We were born 4 days apart. #LeonardNimoy — William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) March 1, 2015

He was tall, lanky and sometimes a bit too serious. #LeonardNimoy

We worked together previous to Star Trek, first impressions: nice guy, a real professional, took the job/role seriously. #LeonardNimoy

He took the role of Spock very seriously and I would try and get him to crack a smile while in his persona. It was hard to do. #LeonardNimoy
