CHRISTIAN BALEPeople need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man I’m flesh and blood, I can be ignored, I can be destroyed, but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting.
CHRISTIAN BALEI 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 BALENo, only disappointment in myself on those occasions I didn’t manage to rise to the occasion as I felt I should’ve done. I can always see how to do it, and then the challenge is, Can I manage that each and every day?

CHRISTIAN BALEIt was a great honor to be called a mo-fo by Sam Jackson.
CHRISTIAN BALEIt’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.
