I have a fear of being boring.
From Christian Bale
I don't think I'm like any of the characters I've played - they're all really far from who I am.
If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest.
An actor should never be larger than the film he's in.
When it comes to films, people often don't differentiate between the message of a bad central character and the message of the film itself. They are two separate things.
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 don't personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.
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.
All of the muscles were gone, so that was a real tough time of rebuilding all of that. But you have a deadline, you have an obligation. You've said that you will commit to this part, and I just can't live with myself for not really giving it as much as I can.
We 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.
