“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.”

It’s not the kind of tuna that I eat.

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.

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.

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.

I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I’ll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.

Whenever I climb I have to also entertain.

These songs are old friends I have entertained myself with when I’m washing the dishes, driving to the store and walking down the aisles.

Rush Limbaugh is what I call a disinfotainer. He entertains by spreading disinformation.

I don’t believe in superheroes but I love Batman movies. There’s a part of every person that is entertained by the idealistic, the fantastic.

I have a burning desire to entertain and different mediums allow me to do this in different ways.

I find that more and more I’m trying to entertain myself when I’m working, because I know the work’s going to go to a horrible place.

Your misery is everyone else’s entertainment.
