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

When I was a kid, I read comics. But when I saw how funny it was, and how wonderfully absurd, I said, “You know, I gotta do this.”

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.

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

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.
