- His character in Gremlins 2 - Die Rückkehr der kleinen Monster (1990) was originally written as a corrupt, deeply unpleasant businessman. Glover, who was getting sick of being cast as villains, instead chose to portray him as an immensely likable and friendly, if eccentric and immature, character.

- Aside from his theatrical endeavours, he is actively involved with the Alzheimer's Association.
- Won Broadway's 1995 Tony Award as Best Actor (Featured Role - Play) for the dual roles of John Jeckyll and James Jeckyll in Terence McNally's "Love! Valour! Compassion!", parts he recreated in the film version of the same title, Liebe! Stärke! Mitgefühl! (1997).
- Visits his alma mater Towson University in Maryland regularly to work with drama students in the Fine Arts College.
- I would like to be able to be both a film actor and a stage actor - to be an American actor in the style of a lot the English actors who do films. They are these wonderful actors who can do everything.
- I had a big part of my life in the theater in Philadelphia. Philadelphia's changed, but I love it.
- I think the reason I'm an actor is the joy I find from escaping and going to be somebody else. That's what I have fun doing.
- [on making Batman & Robin (1997)]: Joel (Schumacher) would sit on a crane with a megaphone and yell before each take 'Remember everyone, this is a cartoon!' It was hard to act because of that kind of set the tone for the film.
