More quotes by Christian Bale
I don't get it when you get so much openness about the way movies are made, and the special effects and the behind-the-scenes stuff and all of that. I can't help but feel like this reduces it a little bit.
Christian Bale
The only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn't do it. I think I'd be terrible.
Christian Bale
Suddenly people were saying I was cocky because I'd done a Steven Spielberg movie and thought I was better than everyone else, which surprised me at first. I suddenly started feeling like a freak because everyone was treating me differently. It was confusing, and I did wonder if acting was for me anymore.
Christian Bale
And being as I'm somebody who loves movies like The Machinist, I also love going along to big mass entertainment movies. I get in the mood for all kinds of movies, and so I like to try each of them.
Christian Bale
'Batman' took 10 months to film, and by the time I stopped working on it, it took a long time before my English accent came out again. I was actually having to try for it.
Christian Bale
I'm an actor I'm not a politician. I always kick myself when I talk too much about family, or personal things.
Christian Bale
I become a bit of a blank page in public. And that's precisely why I like acting.
Christian Bale
I seek … the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.
Christian Bale
The point of having a director is that they make the final decision it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions.
Christian Bale
I don't ever really sit back and look at roles I've taken and look at any similarities.
Christian Bale
I'm English. Our dentistry is not world famous.
Christian Bale
I chose to tell a personal story. When you tell a movie like this that's as emotionally charged as this is, it's a risk. As one of my great cinematic heroes, Francis Coppola, would say, If you aren't taking the highest, greatest risk, then why are you a filmmaker?
Christian Bale
How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun.
Christian Bale
Being misunderstood is not a bad thing as an actor. I know the truth.
Christian Bale
I have a fear of being boring.
Christian Bale
There are occasions when I've pretended to be in a firefight, and then there are people who have really been in a firefight. Clearly it's absolutely ridiculous, and even disrespectful, to suggest that I understand what that is.
Christian Bale
I'm not really into musicals.
Christian Bale
I started my career without fans.
Christian Bale
I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters.
Christian Bale
I always figure hey, look, I'm not a rock star, I'm an actor. I'm somebody who's meant to be other people and I'm not meant to be here representing myself. I'm happier when I'm presenting myself as other characters.
Christian Bale
