Christian Bale

I don’t think I’m like any of the characters I’ve played. They’re all really far from who I am.

Character Myself Nature Play Similarity Thinking
It’s the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.
CHRISTIAN BALE

Audience Feeling Fools Pretty Worth
It’s not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me.

As an actor, I don’t feel like it’s necessary to watch a great deal of films. In fact, I think it can lead to imitation and unhealthy competition, which just isn’t needed.

I feel like I’m pretty good but I don’t like to toot my own horn, you know. I want to let the work speak for itself and kind of move on to the next thing.

I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It’s wonderful, isn’t it?

It’s tough to make a good movie. I think the bigger the movies are, the worse they are. A lot of big movies make a lot of money and you kind of forget about what they are and they don’t really make you think.

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.

Research can be interesting, but it can be pointless as well. The realities of making a movie often are not conducive with that. I’m not knocking it. I love doing research myself, but I admit it doesn’t always add to the performance.
CHRISTIAN BALE

I would have been very happy just cruising around and enjoying the unexpected. I’ve never been ambitious.
CHRISTIAN BALE

Ambitious Enjoyment Expectation Happiness Myself
It’s about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along. That’s partly because I found myself getting typecast, as everyone does unless they pursue roles that are very different from what they’ve done before.

Sometimes the truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people have got to have their faith rewarded.

I tend to think you’re fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.
CHRISTIAN BALE

Fearless Recognition Scare Thinking Yourself
Nuclear apocalypse-who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.
CHRISTIAN BALE

Actor Growth List Pretend Yourself
People 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 BALE

Planning a career, I always find a tricky thing, because I don’t have much of a plan, really.
