I have become convinced that everything that is classy doesn't go away.

When I was getting started, I was so busy just fighting my way through, and I was under contract at Warner Brothers. I did 40 hours of color television with the late Robert Taylor as a young cop.

In the late '60s, there were the the three B's: The Beatles, Batman, and Bond.

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.

When you wear a mask and create a character, nothing will pigeonhole you faster.

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.

When you go to the Sistine Chapel with Sophia Loren, it can be quite some time before your thoughts turn to the ceiling.

I think our Batman had to be fun, light-hearted, funny, tongue-in-cheek... and I think that made kind of an homage to those earlier comic books, where Batman always had a quip or something.

Some nights, I wear my cape, and I go out on the pier. It is foggy... I look for... Riddler.

I've always tried to fit what I do professionally into my family, rather than the other way around.

If you hang around long enough, they think you're good. It's either my tenacity or stupidity - I'm not sure which.

Batman had a certain speech pattern that I established because he was always Sherlock Holmes-ian. He was Basil Rathbone. In other words, he was always musing about something.

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.'

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 like Christian Bale. I've heard he's a big fan of mine, but I certainly reciprocate. I think he's really very good.

Any incarnation of 'Batman' I am delighted to do.

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!
