( He must have been a real little shit back then )

Christian Bale Quotes :
- But I learned that there's a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there's not much else that can really get to ya
- I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway
- 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.
The only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn't do it. I think I'd be terrible.
Turns down $50 million because he doesn't want to ruin a classic trilogy with a shitty money grabbing spinoff. Good Guy Christian Bale, let's give him some credit. He will always be Batman.
