“How many actors have a shot at being a part of something that became a part of pop culture?”

And some days I didn’t know with whom I’d be standing face-to-face, and I was so impressed because they were all really wonderful people.

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.

As an actor, I just like to make people happy, make them laugh. That’s our job, to entertain, and if I’m entertaining you folks, then I’m happy.

Be very careful about your care.

And when you work with Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, George Sanders as Mr. Freeze, it’s a wonderful experience.

One of the first things I look for in a woman I meet is a sense of humor

I think it’s that wherever I go, people are so nice to me, and they come up by the hundreds, and they say nice, funny things.

A sort of light acceptance of the world and the people who live in it.

It’s either my tenacity or my stupidity, I’m not sure which.

Of what use is a dream if not a blueprint for courageous action.

Wasn’t that a wonderful thing that I had a chance to work with more great actors, big stars, than just about anyone in the history of Hollywood?

Sometimes you just can’t get rid of a bomb!

If you hang around long enough, they think you’re good.

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

Anything that triggers good memories can’t be all bad.

When you get a little older, you’ll see how easy it is to become lured by the female of the species.

Russia is a part of European culture. Therefore, it is with difficulty that I imagine NATO as an enemy.

The Russian people have their own cultural code, their own tradition.

The Russian people and Russian culture are the linchpin, the glue that binds together this unique civilization.

Producing an animation series merely to fill time slots in the broadcast schedule is like generating cultural pollution.

A youthful heart does not tolerate injustice and cannot bow to a “throw-away culture” nor give in to the globalization of indifference.

Just as a tree without roots is dead, a people without history or cultural roots also becomes a dead people.

I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.

Those who care for the little ones are on God’s side and defeat the culture of waste.
