- Adam: (on meeting Pope Paul VI) It was really a humorous moment, because I was too hung over to kiss his ring. I was afraid to bend over. He told me how much he enjoyed the show. I think he probably had a lot of advisers, because I can't see the pope sitting around watching Batman. Or Family Guy. But who knows?

- Adam: (On being typecast as Batman) It was inescapable. I'd just about land something substantial, something I like or a good career move. Then some dinosaur would rear up and say, "But the audience will think of him as Batman". It was formidable. It was there like a brick wall.
