CHRISTIAN BALEWorking out is incredibly boring. I swear it’s true that the bigger your muscles get, the fewer brain cells you have.

CHRISTIAN BALEI always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.
CHRISTIAN BALEIt’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.

CHRISTIAN BALECertainly I have no attraction to misery. I don’t intentionally go for dark.

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?
