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.

I never want to feel that I'm playing it safe.

Art is something to be proud of. Art is no compromise.

I'm not really into musicals.
Christian Bale
Image
I never, in any city I've ever been in, never remember the names of streets. The longest place I ever lived in was for five years and I didn't know the name of the next street over.

I'm not really looking forward to wearing a black rubber suit in the summertime in humid Chicago. If you see a pool of sweat through the city, follow it and you will find me.

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.

In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.

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
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.
Christian Bale
Image
It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me.
Christian Bale
Image
What I like about it is that I'm not somebody who's in movies. I'm a guy who's not very good going around the track with a bunch of guys who are a hell of a lot better.
Christian Bale
Image
I seek … the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.
Christian Bale
Image
I'd love to remain a secret and still work, but I also want people to see the movies I'm in and get a higher profile because of that. I like to think that as long as you continue choosing diverse roles, you can avoid becoming predictable.
Christian Bale
Image
I become a bit of a blank page in public. And that's precisely why I like acting.

Basically, it's somebody who got stuck having to interview me who really wants to be a novelist, so they're writing these novellas and I was like, It's not true, that didn't happen, they just made all that up! Why don't they just go ahead and be a novelist instead of bothering with interviewing me?

An actor should never be larger than the film he's in.
Christian Bale

There are movies where actors aren't characters but movie stars, being cool beyond belief throughout the whole movie. That is what it is.
