"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?"

"The point of having a director is that they make the final decision; it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions."

Decision

Quote_1.png
Christian Bale
"I will never say never, but I will say never to doing the more typical romantic comedies. You know, unless I'm getting audited and I'm on the street and I desperately need some dough and that's the only thing that I'm getting."

Romantic

Christian Bale
"If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest."

"So yeah, a good director will be able to listen and hear everything, but have a confident vision of his own that he can say, 'oh yeah - that's a great point.' And you never know; often you can help far more than you think you can, because there's so much more that he's juggling than an actor."

Vision

Christian Bale
"I never want to feel that I'm playing it safe."

Want

Quote_1.png
Christian Bale
"No, 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?"

Challenge

Quote_1.png
Christian Bale
"I'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."
