“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 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.”

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.

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

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

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!

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

It is from the level of calamities, not that of every-day life, that we learn impressive and useful lessons.

You are my day and night. The first thought when I wake, the last thing on my mind; before I slip into the moons starry sky.

Contrary to the general belief about photography, you don’t need bright sunlight: the best moodiest pictures are taken in the dim light of almost dusk, or of rainy days.

Yes, as my swift days near their goal, ’tis all that I implore: In life and death a chainless soul, with courage to endure.

Back in the old days, a man could just get sick and die. Now they have to wage a battle. So my Uncle Bert is waging a courageous battle, which I’ve seen, because I go and visit him. And this is the battle: he’s lying in the hospital bed, with a thing in his arm, watching Matlock on the TV.
