Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Michael:(on playing Batman I'm gonna do four or five of these movies, and it's going to become my career. I'll have to keep expanding the bat suit, because I get fatter every year. I'll be bankrupt. I'll be out opening shopping malls, going from appearance to appearance in a cheesy van.
-
Michael: (on directing a feature film) I probably could've done this earlier, if I was more ambitious.
-
Michael: (on doing a villain role in a superhero film) I think it'd be fun because those are the roles where you get to chew it up.
-
Michael: (asked if he regretted not returning as Batman in "Batman Forever") I was waiting in line for another movie and just kind of poked my head in... watched about 10 minutes. I saw enough to know that I made the right decision.
-
Michael: (comparing working on "Batman Returns" to the first "Batman" film) In some ways, this one was harder, because I felt like I was doing an impersonation of myself. Which, aside from being nearly impossible, is really weird.
-
Michael: (on his birth name being Michael Douglas) Yeah, I had to change my name because there were two other actors registered at Equity with that name. One of them is doing quite well from what I understand, the other is making cheap porn movies... (pause) like Basic Instinct.
