I love being in America. I used to love traveling and I am glad that I was able to go around the world. I still love to go to Europe, but I always want to come home.
I said to the president's wife, Vietnam is the main reason we are having trouble with the youth of America. It is a war without explanation or reason.
I punish myself more than anybody else does if I am stupid about my actions, and I suffer, really suffer.
I still can't go over a subway grating without looking down to see if there is some money there.
In 1992, fans of our feline temptress got another chance to sink their claws into the new and exciting tales of Catwoman in Batman: The Animated Series.
Jewelry, to me, is a pain in the derriere, because you have to be watching it all the time.
Thank God I got the rejects. These animals are very, very affectionate.
People in general are used to seeing me as the naughty girl because that's what they've always cast me as.
Innocence is one of the most exciting things in the world.
People these days are thinking less and drinking more.
I have to keep testing myself.
The thing that hurts, that became anger, was when I realized that if you tell the truth, in a country that says you’re entitled to tell the truth, you get your face slapped and you get put out of work.
Greed can be very dangerous because you sacrifice your soul for the sake of something material, and then you start sacrificing people in order to keep that which is material.
As the Batman TV series was returning to ABC for its second season in 1967, the TV bosses decided to take Catwoman into another direction......lucky for me.
