QUOTE:
My ethnicity works both for and against me. But I look for parts that aren’t necessarily Asian, parts that can be played by someone of any background.

When I’m spotted somewhere, it means that my characterizations haven’t covered up Eleanor Parker the person. I prefer it the other way around.

QUOTES:
[on the Batman films]: Some day my kids are going to watch these and say to themselves “That’s daddy!”.
[Comparing the experiences of making Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997)]: When I made Batman Forever, I felt like I was making a movie. When I made Batman & Robin, I felt like I was making a toy commercial.
(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.
(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.”.
(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.
(1995) I almost got caught in the Hollywood web. They almost pulled me in. But I have a much better time going to the bars over at UCLA, drinking beers and listening to that whole scene. At the ‘hot’ clubs, I don’t know the bouncers and I have no pull at the door-they don’t recognize me and, really, I don’t care. I’ve been to most of the hot places at least once. There’s a lot of losers who hang out at these places. The bars are filled with people just trying to slip you their business card, who tell you, “Hey, I’m a producer and I’ve written some stuff…” The women are like “Are you important enough for me to bother with?”.
