For me, I think the harder the shoot, the more I feel like I'm enjoying myself.

You say something bad about Newsies and you have an awful lot of people to answer to.
Christian Bale
Image
I seek … the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.

Image
I don't ever really sit back and look at roles I've taken and look at any similarities.
Christian Bale
Image
I find what I do for a living really funny. I mean, acting is kind of a hilarious thing for a grown man to call a job.
Christian Bale
Image
I never try to guess what anyone else will take from a movie. Every movie is such a different experience for each and every person. I don't like it when people try telling people what they should take from a movie. You should go see it with fresh eyes and see for themselves.

If you're doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.

Whatever you do, do it completely. Don't do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.

I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.

Image
I think there's a limited amount of planning you can do, at least in the position I'm in. Maybe more successful actors can plan more than I'm able to.

But I enjoyed getting sick, I didn't mind it at all. So in that short amount of time, I did actually go from 121 right back up to 180, which is way too fast obviously. And that resulted in some doctors visits to get things sorted out.

I have this theory that, depending on your attitude, your life doesn't have to become this ridiculous charade that it seems so many people end up living.
Christian Bale
Image
There are movies that require fantasy and slightly more fantastical acting. Lines that are good for certain movies, in real life circumstances, would be absolutely unbelievable things to really say, and you would look at these people like they're freaks for conversing that way. But somehow for certain styles of movies, it works, and it seems fine.

Any planning that I have in my career is totally accidental really.

The art of survival is a story that never ends.
Christian Bale
Image
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
Image
It's got to do with putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.

It was just the two of us, inside there with just mirrors, all the way around us. Everywhere we looked, there were these two freaks, sitting at a table, eyeballing each other.
