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.
CHRISTIAN BALEI 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.
CHRISTIAN BALEAfter the modest success of my first film, I found it very daunting to have to live with that kind of burden of expectations.
CHRISTIAN BALEI find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.
CHRISTIAN BALEArt is something to be proud of. Art is no compromise. As an actor, you’re giving it up, you’re at the mercy of so many other people.
CHRISTIAN BALEResearch 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 BALEIf everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn’t be so adored in the slightest.
CHRISTIAN BALEI never want to feel that I’m playing it safe.
CHRISTIAN BALEAll I’ve ever ended up with in terms of achievements is the movie, some really stupid anecdotes, a bunch of crosswords that I didn’t finish and maybe some old bicycle that I found lying around on set.
CHRISTIAN BALEI do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that.
CHRISTIAN BALEAs 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.
CHRISTIAN BALEIt’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.
CHRISTIAN BALEYou have to treat yourself like a mushroom to some degree, in order to keep on discovering things.
CHRISTIAN BALEWe’re all conning ourselves, one way or another, just to get through life.
CHRISTIAN BALEWe 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.
CHRISTIAN BALEI 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.
CHRISTIAN BALEI want to do good work. I want the opportunity to work with good people, and the only way I’m gonna do that is to commit 110% – you get out what you put in.
