After the modest success of my first film, I found it very daunting to have to live with that kind of burden of expectations.
Christian Bale
Image
You either decide to take the easy way out, which means you're only going to disappoint yourself and everybody else, or you take the risk right now of being a fool, which is the only way you'll end up being exhilarated later on when you actually watch the movie.
Christian Bale
Image
I've always felt that I would rather see an actor, writer, or musician's work, rather than actually know the person. If you know too much about an artist, it somehow lessens their ability to do their work as well.
Christian Bale
Image
If you're doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.
Christian Bale
Image
I don't ever really sit back and look at roles I've taken and look at any similarities.
Christian Bale
Image
I want to do good work. I want the opportunity to work with good people, and the only way I'm gonna do that is to commit 110% - you get out what you put in.
Christian Bale
Image
I quite like it when you're working with people and you only get to know them through the scenes that you're doing together.
Christian Bale
Image
I never want to turn something down because I'm afraid to do it, because of some idea of image or whatever. That was never anything I set out to do. In fact, the opposite, I always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.
Christian Bale

It's very easy to leave when things go wrong, but to stick around and to basically give life to a town because of everything that it gave you generation after generation after generation, that to me is what defines a true American.

Image
An actor should never be larger than the film he's in.
Christian Bale
Image
I've always believed that the director does whatever the hell he wants. That's what you sign on for as an actor - I can't stand it when you have actors who are trying to leverage directors into doing things they don't want to do.
Christian Bale
Image
Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people have got to have their faith rewarded.
Christian Bale
Image
Being misunderstood is not a bad thing as an actor. I know the truth.
Christian Bale
Image
I seek … the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.
Christian Bale
Image
I never applied to any acting schools. I don't know if that's just bad reporting, or - sometimes I just make stuff up.
Christian Bale
Image
I have a very sissy job, where I go to work and get my hair done, and people do my makeup, and I go and say lines and people spoil me rotten. And everyone has that kind of curiosity of how far can you go, how far can you take it. I think it's always good testing yourself.

In everyday life, my wife is the most wonderful. We're in love with each other beyond belief.

I ain't the first on the list that people are sending scripts to. I'm very lucky. I've managed to put myself in the position with some directors, who will be calling me directly, and we're working on things and talking about things, but that's on a purely creative level.
Christian Bale
Image
If something's true and sincere, it happens regardless of marketing. The more I talk about it, the more I'm telling people how they should react. And that is an asshole.

The interesting thing about a movie is the movie.
