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

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.

Although Bill Finger literally typed the scripts in the early days, he wrote the scripts from ideas that we mutually collaborated on. Many of the unique concepts and story twists also came from my own fertile imagination.

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.

The difference between talking on your cell phone while driving and speaking with a passenger is huge. The person on the other end of the cell phone is chattering away, oblivious.

If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton.

I don't know where the stock market is going, but I will say this, that if it continues higher, this will do more to stimulate the economy than anything we've been talking about today or anything anybody else was talking about.

I don't see this planet being... they're talking about how they're turning around the environmental problems here, but I think it's already too late.

Over and over again, financial experts and wonkish talking heads endeavor to explain these mysterious, 'toxic' financial instruments to us lay folk. Over and over, they ignobly fail, because we all know that no one understands credit default obligations and derivatives, except perhaps Mr. Buffett and the computers who created them.

I don't know how much influence we really had, because we never put our pictures on the albums or anything and we never really promoted the Talking Heads connection, because we wanted to keep it separate from Talking Heads.

I do not believe that I have had an interview with anybody in twenty-five years in which the person to whom I was talking was not annoyed during the early part of the interview by my asking stupid questions.

I never took my SAT's. I never applied to college. I moved right out here and jumped into the thick of things. Whether that was the smart move or not, I'm sitting here talking to you now, so it paid off.

But let's be clear. We're talking about a country where there's no opposition. As leader he can ignore Parliament and - sorry that's Tony Blair isn't it? Um, so he doesn't even have to ask the country before he goes to war - sorry that's still Tony Blair.

It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.

We need people out talking about the President, explaining, agreeing with and praising his actions.

When people screamed novelty the first time around talking about an ugly video and stuff I was really insulted because, hold on a minute, everyone you see in the video are real life.

If you watch the show and the characters don't look at each other while they're talking, the actors probably aren't getting along.

A politician should have three hats. One for throwing into the ring, one for talking through, and one for pulling rabbits out of if elected.

Some day, somebody is going to have to start talking about what happens to us all a decade from now if we let these North Koreans and the Iranians go forward with their nuclear weapons program.

I'm talking like 10, 12 years old. Either junior brings Mom and Pop or Mom and Pop bring the kids. I'm talking young here, not a college drinking crowd.

The people who make policy decisions should damned well know what they are talking about before they make the decisions. There is nobody who is an expert on cloning who would be afraid after seeing Attack of the Clones.

You meet new people. We just spent two hours with people we didn't know before, just talking about the Badgers.

I have thought about the next steps, and you know, they still don't know that I can dance. They don't know it, and it's frustrating me because I feel that it's an edge that I have, and I'm not talking about I took this hip hop class, I'm talking about this is how people actually know me.

There's probably a way to use that great content and to live under the radar now and then in order to reach a new audience. That's the thinking I'm talking about.
