- 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.
- 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.
- The wonderful thing with some of the things I’ve done — most of them, really — is to be trusted. To be able to do your thing, to work on it, hone it into my gem of creativity!
- 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 was a maverick. I went to five different colleges looking for I don’t know quite what.
- I’ve played dinner theaters. I’m a working stiff.
- I don’t paint butter dishes, doilies, or hummingbirds in my garden. It’s more raw, I suppose. But it always creates a reaction.

- 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.
- ‘Batman’ was a colorful and wild ride.
- 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.
