I met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that, and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.

I like being responsible for myself

Christian Bale 201 quotes

Were all conning ourselves, one way or another, just to get through life.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

The blue collar milieu was something that I really understood and resonated with me and I thought was underrepresented in American cinema.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

It helps so much being on loca...

It helps so much being on location. It's like the difference between performing for the rectangle of the camera versus a world being created and then the camera finds things within that. There's a huge difference in that, because what it takes away is performance. You don't feel like performing. You're just kind of doing it. You're existing.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

It'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 Bale 201 quotes

I think it's important when yo...

I think it's important when you're acting to be as relaxed as possible even if you're doing something intense. You're basically in a state of dynamic relaxation.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

Directors go their whole career without being able to tell personal stories and to work with a cast as talented as they are.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

After the modest success of my first film, I found it very daunting to have to live with that kind of burden of expectations.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

I chose to tell a personal sto...

I chose to tell a personal story. When you tell a movie like this that's as emotionally charged as this is, it's a risk. As one of my great cinematic heroes, Francis Coppola, would say, 'If you aren't taking the highest, greatest risk, then why are you a filmmaker?'

Christian Bale 201 quotes

I never want to turn something...

I never want to turn something down because I'm afraid to do it, because of some idea of image or whatever. That was never anything I set out to do. In fact, the opposite, I always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.

It was a great honor to be called a mo-fo by Sam Jackson.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

There are occasions when I've pretended to be in a firefight, and then there are people who have really been in a firefight. Clearly it's absolutely ridiculous, and even disrespectful, to suggest that I understand what that is.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

I've always felt that I would ...

I've always felt that I would rather see an actor, writer, or musician's work, rather than actually know the person. If you know too much about an artist, it somehow lessens their ability to do their work as well.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

There have been many times when you spend a number of months and the finished product is not what you wanted to see. And 'Batman Begins' was what I wanted to see.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

My hope is that people will be...

My hope is that people will be repulsed by the character's complete lack of ethics and obsession with consumerism - that's what I was saying about the difference between the character's message and the film's message.

I'm English. Our dentistry is not world famous.

I'm an actor I'm not a politician. I always kick myself when I talk too much about family, or personal things.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

I seek the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.

Christian Bale 201 quotes

In honesty, there are probably a lot of stories that can be told with Batman. I like the idea of him growing older and he can't quite do it as much anymore.
