| Quotes: |
[on the Batman films]: Some day my kids are going to watch these and say to themselves "That's daddy!".
<br />
<hr>
[Comparing the experiences of making Batman Forever (1995) and Batman u0026amp; Robin (1997)]: When I made Batman Forever, I felt like I was making a movie. When I made Batman u0026amp; Robin, I felt like I was making a toy commercial.
<br />
<hr>
(1995, on his clean-cut image) My family and friends see me as a real smart-ass, a wise-ass. The way people see me in movies, in the stuff they read about me, is kind of an idealistic view.
<br />
<hr>
(1995, on competing with his acting peers) There have been times when I had to go audition and there were other people there. I can't stand that. When it comes to the point where I'm trying to get a part, I'm like "I don't want to talk to you.".
<br />
<hr>
(on Reese Witherspoon) We hung out for a little while when Scent of a Woman (1992) came out. I did date her. It was weird because it was the first time I had ever really dated an actress. When I was in college, I never had a serious girlfriend because it was too much fun dating different girls. With Reese, it just kind of didn't work out. It was nothing serious, to tell you the truth. |
