I've always tried to fit what I do professionally into my family, rather than the other way around.
Adam West -
Anything that triggers good memories can't be all bad.

If you hang around long enough, they think you're good. It's either my tenacity or stupidity - I'm not sure which.
Adam West -
Crummy pictures, live appearances, circuses, avant garde theater, dinner theater. I've done it all. I've been shot out of cannons. I know what the people want. I'm out there with the people.
Adam West -
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.
Adam West -
I don't want to be Batman. Let Val Kilmer do it. I just want to be Uncle Batman. I have this whole 'warm relationship' plot in my mind. In the final scenes, the new Batmobile breaks down, the new Batman's stranded on the side of the road. We grab our old Batmobile, pick him up and drive away.
Adam West -
The Batmobile wasn't a stickshift, and it was a challenge to drive, believe me.
Adam West -
When I got the part, I tried to remember Batman as I knew him when I was a kid - with emotional recall.
Adam West
-
I've played dinner theaters. I'm a working stiff.
Adam West -
Over the years, I've learned that if you can just hang in there and, regardless of what's presented to you, take it as a challenge and try to bring in something fresh, then it works.
Adam West -
To play the leading man in a 'Three Stooges' movie, you've got to think funny. Thank God I think funny.
Adam West -
'Batman' was a colorful and wild ride.
Adam West -
Anything with 'Family Guy' is great.
Adam West -
Maybe we could find some way to send barges of trash to the sun and incinerate it all. Hey, it's an idea. It's an idea!
Adam West
-
It's part of my character not to take myself too seriously. That's one of the reasons I've been able to survive.
Adam West -
I have become convinced that everything that is classy doesn't go away.
Adam West -
I think I've said I'm the luckiest actor in the world. I mean that.
Adam West -
I just go my own way. If my agent calls and presents me with something, and I find it refreshing or illuminating, yeah, I'll do it.
Adam West -
Playing Batman is an actor's challenge. First, it's different; then, you have to reach a multi-level audience. The kids take it straight, but for adults, we have to project it further.
Adam West -
I have the curse of thinking funny!
Adam West
-
I've been able to reinvent myself and to keep an audience going at whatever age. This is terrific. I mean, how many actors get that chance?
Adam West -
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.
Adam West -
I would hate to be a bitter, aging actor.
Adam West -
I like Christian Bale. I've heard he's a big fan of mine, but I certainly reciprocate. I think he's really very good.
