Art is something to be proud of. Art is no compromise. As an actor, you're giving it up, you're at the mercy of so many other people.
Christian BaleWhat I like about it is that I'm not somebody who's in movies. I'm a guy who's not very good going around the track with a bunch of guys who are a hell of a lot better.
Christian BaleI always figure hey, look, I'm not a rock star, I'm an actor. I'm somebody who's meant to be other people and I'm not meant to be here representing myself. I'm happier when I'm presenting myself as other characters.
Christian BaleI find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.
