Batman has been acknowledged as a legend in my lifetime.

I created Batman about 10 years before Ian Fleming created James Bond.

This sounds like my autobiography, but I thought this would be a good time to sound off about myself, as I think that I have been silent too long about my views and opinions.

I am also a writer. That is a fact not known by the public in general.

It's been 25 years now, and truthfully, time sometimes blurs the memory.

When I first drew him I had eyes in there and it didn't look right.

The New Look of Batman is more illustrative and realistic.

What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.

I was involved with the Batman. There are two sides to every story. Now you've heard my side.

How can an article about me or the Batman be the true story when I am not consulted or interviewed?

I intend to explode the myths about myself and get down to the real truth about the legend that is Batman.

It took them a while to catch on that Batman would be the greatest.

I didn't have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time.

It is difficult to separate, at times, the myth from the truth.

If you ever want to get the facts straight about me or the Batman, please write to the original source, myself, for the truth, instead of second guessing.

In the Golden Age of Batman, I penciled, inked, and lettered my strip by myself.

Batman has been acknowledged as a legend in my lifetime.

I am planning a one-man art show of original Batman oil paintings that I will show in New York City.

Much is written about the Batman because he is publicly exposed in print. Very little is known personally about his creator, because I haven't given out that many interviews.

The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator.

If Bill Finger created Batman, where is Bill Finger's byline on my strip? It is conspicuous by its absence.

I think I'm becoming a psychologist in explaining the Republican Party. It's the only way you can explain 'em. It's psychological.

I'm not a big fan of just doing weights. Anything more physical is infinitely better.

The Porto players were with me for two and a half years, they believed in me, in my methods, in the way we do it. The next day I go and a manager arrives who works completely differently.

'Balthazar' is very much about the title hero having to choose between his past and his future. For the first time in a long time, he has a chance to be happy - with Skye. But he has this terrible tendency to set himself up for heartbreak, in part because he punishes himself for his past.

We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.

Hey, you must be doin' good, 'cause I never hear from you.

I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.

Dance for yourself. If someone understands good. If not no matter. Go right on doing what interests you and do it until it stops interesting you.

Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.

Those have a short Lent who owe money to be paid at Easter.

I think it's my nature to - every time I hear about an award or a nomination, it makes me realize how much I must've been losing before, because I was not aware that every major city had these critics' awards.

I think people who meet me just pretty much get what I am about.

When you lose everything, and I mean everything, you sit there in this empty room in the dark, and the only person who can get you out is you.

When a man has no reason to trust himself, he trusts in luck.

Do every act of your life as if it were your last.

Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.

If we want to take a bunch of phrases and run them through a Google and say 'Hey, who else has said them,' I can come up with the list in five minutes.
