“It's not new: In the '70s, Archie Bunker said terrible things on 'All ...” — Jason Bateman Quote

It's not new: In the '70s, Archie Bunker said terrible things on 'All in the Family,' but it was all in Carroll O'Connor's performance. You saw lack of intelligence, and you laughed.

I don't really find a problem with technology or television or anything. I'm a product of it. I grew up watching TV, and I don't think I'm too dumb or too crazy.

If you make a mistake, people are going to know about it really fast - and I was making a ton of them when I was a kid.

Acting is just playing the violin in an orchestra. Directing is being the conductor.

I was doing everything that a kid would be doing anyway, but on top of that, I was able to fly to different cities.

I feel blessed. All the great running backs that have come through Ohio State - Archie Griffin, Eddie George, Beanie Wells - I'm happy that I was able to carry on that lineage this season.

Millions of people thought Archie was a happy hero.

You can't hold me to the same standard as the president or a school teacher. I'm just a comedian. My job is like Archie Bunker.

I think it's refreshing that it's not called 'The Archie Show.' It's called 'Riverdale,' not 'Archie,' which is good.

My two biggest influences are Archie comics and Dennis the Menace.
