You don't sacrifice your individuality; you sacrifice a lot of freedom.

Sometimes, in a part, everything comes together.

Nobody's a criminal to himself. I never play a criminal like a bad person.

I was watching cartoons on television and a commercial came on for one of the Batman series where I played a butler. And then my grandson looked up at me and he said, "Do you know Batman?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Really," I said, "Yeah." I said I know him very well. And he told all the boys at school, he said, "My grandpa knows Batman. Does your grandpa know Batman? OK, no. Mine does.

My wife, my daughters, even my grandchildren are funny. You've got to keep a sense of humor because anger destroys you.

I heard my first laughter on stage, when I was about 10 years old. It was gold pantomime and I remember I was playing Baron Fitznoodle, who was the father of the ugly sisters in "Cinderella." And I walked on and got a great big laugh and I thought that was fantastic, until I looked down and found that my flies were open. And so I always check my flies. I even check my flies on radio.

We should vote for the welfare of the country, not for the welfare of the party.
