“What the hell kind of man decides to dress up as a bat and run around the city? …” — Christian Bale

If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest.

I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.

I don't think I'm like any of the characters I've played - they're all really far from who I am.

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.
