“When I got the part, I tried to remember Batman as I knew him when I was a kid - with emotional recall.”
“I've always shied away from 'Where are they now?' shows, because I've been lucky enough to keep working, and people know where I am.”
“Any incarnation of 'Batman' I am delighted to do.”
“You have no idea the people I meet when I do these Comic-Cons. When I go sign autographs and say hello to people, I see everything!”
“I have no patience with dinosaurs.”
“Burgess Meredith taught me a lot about wine.”
“There were definitely times when I regretted ever being Batman.”
“When I got to Hollywood, there wasn't even a Boulevard. I'm that old. It was just a little dirt trail. I'm kidding.”
“How many actors have a shot at being a part of something that became a part of pop culture? It's been very rewarding. I'm not getting the 20 million bucks for the new movies, but at least I'm getting warmth and recognition from people wherever I go.”
“In a very real sense, I represent pop culture in an iconic way. It's been very good to me, so anything I can do to help the fans to tumble along - it's good.”
“I'm interested in film - any aspect - acting, directing, writing.”
“I grew up on a ranch in Walla Walla, Washington. Except for one lawyer, I don't remember anyone in my family being anything else but ranchers.”
“I was a maverick. I went to five different colleges looking for I don't know quite what.”
“If you're a plumber, you plumb. I'm an actor. I act.”
“I have the curse of thinking funny!”
“It's a wonderful thing to be able to make fun of yourself and to do it in a way that sort of preserves your dignity but, at the same time, lets you play the theater of the absurd.”
“I don't paint butter dishes, doilies, or hummingbirds in my garden. It's more raw, I suppose. But it always creates a reaction.”
“Anything with 'Family Guy' is great.”
“If you hang around long enough, they think you're good. It's either my tenacity or stupidity - I'm not sure which.”
“You can't play Batman in a serious, square-jawed, straight-ahead way without giving the audience the sense that there's something behind that mask waiting to get out, that he's a little crazed; he's strange.”
