I 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 BALEIn everyday life, my wife is the most wonderful. We’re in love with each other beyond belief.
CHRISTIAN BALEI don’t personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.
CHRISTIAN BALEIn terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they’ll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.
CHRISTIAN BALEIt’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.
CHRISTIAN BALEWe’re all conning ourselves, one way or another, just to get through life.
CHRISTIAN BALEWhat the hell kind of man decides to dress up as a bat and run around the city? There’s got to be something a little bit loose in there.
CHRISTIAN BALEYou have to treat yourself like a mushroom to some degree, in order to keep on discovering things.
CHRISTIAN BALEI’ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I’m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don’t want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that.
CHRISTIAN BALEI always leave that for other people to decide, because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people’s favorite movies. And that’s what I like so much, is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.
CHRISTIAN BALEIt’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 BALEAnd I not only inherited an aversion to the nine-to-five routine, but the sense from my parents that being bored and boring is the worst thing that you can be.
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 like being responsible for myself.
CHRISTIAN BALEWe were incredibly fortunate to get to make three Batman films. That’s enough. Let’s not get greedy. It’s a torch that should be handed from one actor to another. So I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with.
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.
