The interesting thing about a movie is the movie.
Christian Bale
Image
An actor should never be larger than the film he's in.
Christian Bale
Image
We are starting off with our own different characters and our own laws and everything, looking at Bruce Wayne and how he came to be the person that he was and how he comes to be this man that jumps around in the Bat suit.

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
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

I have a fear of being boring.
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. And we reveal ourselves when we act, very often without noticing. But if I can manage to do a character without showing anything of myself, then that's the ultimate goal for me. No leakage.

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
For me any moment in front of a crowd is embarrassing, because I can't stand being in front of people. I'm probably one of the worst public speakers. I try to avoid it, but there are times when it's just too rude not to do it. But there really isn't a moment that's not embarrassing for me if I'm going to stand up in front of a crowd.

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 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 always figure hey, look, I'm not a rock star, I'm an actor. I'm somebody who's meant to be other people and I'm not meant to be here representing myself. I'm happier when I'm presenting myself as other characters.
Christian Bale
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.
Christian Bale
Image
I don't ever really sit back and look at roles I've taken and look at any similarities.

Image
Were all conning ourselves, one way or another, just to get through life.

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