Quotes

• "The sequel. Alec Guinness remarked one time that he made more money on those two Star Wars movies that he was just featured in than he'd made in his whole career and had little or nothing to do. That's what it's like."
• "I haven't finished. I've got one more day. I travel all the way to Hong Kong to do it."
• "Back in Gotham, back in Chris Nolan’s city. The only drawback is this is the last one we get to work on with him. And a lot of us won’t really get that until later. It’s not until the curtain goes down that you think, 'Jesus, that’s the last one'."
• "You know, I'm happy for Ben, but I don't know how that's gonna work. Because The Dark Knight was almost 'it'. Pretty much 'it.' Did you see Batman Begins I don't think you can beat that."
