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.

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.

I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters.
Christian Bale

I swear, the bigger your muscles get, the duller you are. You become fascinated with carbs and protein and ripped abs and things that are just not interesting at all.
Christian Bale

In everyday life, my wife is the most wonderful. We're in love with each other beyond belief.
Christian Bale
Image
Planning a career, I always find a tricky thing, because I don't have much of a plan, really.
Christian Bale
Image
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
I think the harder the shoot, the more I feel like I'm enjoying myself.
Christian Bale
Image
It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me.
Christian Bale
Image
The only thing that I'm obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.
Christian Bale
Image
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
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.
