Quotes

Arleen Sorkin

  • [on discussing one of her two favorite Batman episodes] My first is 'Harley and Ivy.' I love it because there's a great relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Anybody who has ever had a girl friend obsessed with some guy, and you just wanted to tell her to 'get over yourself' can relate. I also love all her stuff pertaining to the Joker. I thought it was cute when Harley did the drawing of the joker's face in her salad. I also liked working with Diane Pershing (Poison Ivy) very much.
  • I see Harley as a girl who wants to do the right thing, but it's just not within her control. She wants to be a good girl but it's so much more her to be a bad one. I think she's popular because of her vulnerability.
  • Paul hired my then-writing partner Beth Milstein and I, to write two episodes of Tiny Toons Adventures. My first animated voice work was Harley. It was great fun because so much of my acting work has been built around my hair, my earrings, my hats and costumes. On Batman, I could come in looking like a total dog. It was really a treat! I like to say, 'What I've lacked in talent, I made up for in accessories!' Harley was the one job where I didn't have to rely on that at all.".
