In this Trek Movie interview Walter Koenig talks about the different directing styles of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner. "Leonard directed by omission, so if he didn’t say anything to you, you were doing fine", but on Shatner: "Bill was just the opposite." [Koenig then emulates Shatner's style of saying "that was so good."] (more/close)

I never understood why Leonard became an actor, he is a pure intellect... Very bright, very gifted, and there is something about his non-acting that makes him an authority figure. You put the ears on him and it all came together...
He talks some more about Star Trek II, being a producer, J.J. Abram's Star Trek, the humor in ST IV, and how he came to work on Trek and working in Television.
Star Trek's William Shatner: I have no ego, BBC Hardtalk (2012)
Wasn't it hard on William Shatner being the leading man when there was a clamor from the viewers for more of Spock? The guy with the pointed ears who, he remembers, would have an occasional word to say like 'not now captain' or something like that. Now, one could be cross with Shatner for his dismissive attitude, but rewatching the first season of Star Trek, I was amazed how little Spock actually had to do in the first couple of episodes.
