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.
Christian Bale

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.

In honesty, there are probably a lot of stories that can be told with Batman. I like the idea of him growing older and he can't quite do it as much anymore.

It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me.
Christian Bale
Image
I will never say never, but I will say never to doing the more typical romantic comedies. You know, unless I'm getting audited and I'm on the street and I desperately need some dough and that's the only thing that I'm getting.
Christian Bale
Image
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
Image
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
Image
An actor should never be larger than the film he's in.
Christian Bale
Image
Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people have got to have their faith rewarded.
Christian Bale

I never applied to any acting schools. I don't know if that's just bad reporting, or - sometimes I just make stuff up.
