I would hate to be a bitter, aging actor.
-
I have become convinced that everything that is classy doesn't go away.
-
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.
-
I have the curse of thinking funny!
-
All I know is that my fans have been really wonderful and affectionate.
-
There were definitely times when I regretted ever being Batman.
-
When you wear a mask and create a character, nothing will pigeonhole you faster.
-
I'm very lucky. I do voiceovers, 'Family Guy,' on and on, and quite frankly, I'm one of the luckiest actors in the world. I was able to create a character who became iconic.
-
I'm a fan of anything that's good, especially when it's conscientiously good.
-
When 'Family Guy' came along, it was like a gift, and it expanded my fan base.
-
Oh, it's fun to be an icon!
-
There was a time when 'Batman' really kept me from getting some pretty good roles, and I was asked to do what I figured were important features. However, Batman was there, and very few people would take a chance on me walking onto the screen. And they'd be taking people away from the story.
-
Look at 'Batman' - that was theater of the absurd, as is 'Family Guy.'
-
In the late '60s, there were the the three B's: The Beatles, Batman, and Bond.
-
Typecasting is really rampant in Hollywood, and because I played a costumed character and did it successfully, it was a real stigma.
-
My grandfather and my father had wheat ranches, so we had quite a few trucks around and a lot of mules. Talk about horsepower - we had mule power.
-
I think it's an actor's job, if you can, to keep working and to keep using that muscle. First of all, you've got to pay the bills, but it also helps you develop.
-
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.
-
My paintings capture the humor, zaniness, and depth of the Batman villains as well as the Freudian motivations of Batman as an all-too-human, venerable, and funny vigilante superhero.
-
I am a private person. I don't need a lot of company. And I find it really, really difficult to talk about myself.
-
If you paint a picture and I paint a picture, we each want to do it our own way. And we'll stand or fall on whatever we did.
-
One of the most gratifying, rewarding things is when people come up, and they tell you how the show influenced their lives in a very positive way. When I do these things like Comic Con, I get people who are lawyers, judges, plumbers, carpenters, and entire families, and it's mostly for 'Batman.' But now, amazingly, it's also for 'Family Guy.'
-
Favorite Bat-gadget was probably the Batboat, because it was fun to get out on the ocean and run that thing around at high speed.
