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? -Christian Bale Movies
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. -Christian Bale Attitude
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. -Christian Bale Romantic
Essentially, I'm untrained, so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I'm going to be playing. -Christian Bale Imagination
I have this theory that, depending on your attitude, your life doesn't have to become this ridiculous charade that it seems so many people end up living. -Christian Bale Attitude
In 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 Bale Romantic
I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway. -Christian Bale Courage
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. -Christian Bale Romantic
