Christian Quotes About Love Definition

When a rage for authenticity meets a passionate fakery meets a workingman's attitude, you get this guy. An actor of great dimension — just don't call him that. And he'll probably win some big award for his role in The Fighter, but don't dare tell him that. A funny and sometimes testy encounter with Mr. Bale.

Christian Bale comes to the bar dressed in a regular-guy windbreaker and looking much more scruffy and handsome — charming, rakish, ne'er-do-well, with a piratical mustache and goatee — than he ever lets himself look in movies. His English accent hits a sweet spot on the higher edge of working class, with a hint of the warm burr of his native Wales. He orders a Stella and expresses polite concern about the noise level and the tape recorder. But within minutes it becomes blindingly clear that he'd be much happier asking the questions than answering them.

A standoff ensues not unlike thescene in Antonioni's The Passenger when Jack Nicholson is interviewing a witch doctor who clearly thinks he's an obnoxious idiot. "Your questions are much more revealing about yourself than my answers will be about me," the witch doctor says, turning the camera around so it's pointing at Nicholson. Major existential moment as Nicholson stares into the abyss between sign and signifier. But we have seen this movie, and it does not turn out well — the spell must be reversed.

BALE: Well, it's embarrassing to be a star. Most people look at you like, "That's not a fucking job, is it?" And then on top of that, you learn very quickly that you're just a tool — other people are manipulating everything you do, you're at the mercy of editors, and there's nothing you can do. 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.

ESQUIRE: You don't want to be a vain movie star, I totally get it, I respect it. But there's nothing that's more of a dick movie-star move than to say, "It has to be printed as a Q&A." That's movie star. You and Tom Cruise back in the day are the only people who do that shit.

BALE: That's not true! [laughing] We're not the only ones. And it was like I said yesterday, it came from a couple of interviews where they just made up a whole bunch of crap in their effort to practice writing their novel.

BALE: Because I've enjoyed interviews so much when the writer has said to me, "You know what? Not my thing. Didn't like it too much." I find that endlessly entertaining.

It's actually a terrific movie. Directed by the wildly unpredictable David O. Russell, it's a naturalistic tour de force with Mark Wahlberg playing a mean-streets Massachusetts boxer named Micky Ward and Bale as his older brother Dickie, a professional boxer turned crackhead.

ESQUIRE: There was something really sweet about Dickie, even though he's a crackhead.

BALE: He's a sweet crackhead, isn't he? I'm so fond of Dickie. I was just talking with him today. He just loves people so much, and then he messes up.

ESQUIRE: I love the way he jumps out the window every time his mom comes over.

BALE: All true! Dickie and me went walking around the town and every single bar, there's some incident that they can talk about that happened with Dickie there. A few of the bars, he's not allowed in. He's like the mayor. He walks down the street, everybody shouting out, "Dickie! Dickie!"

ESQUIRE: The sisters were awesome.

BALE: They're an endlessly entertaining family. One of them got upset with the portrayal that was being done, and there was a few suggestions of physical actions that might happen if the actress continued to represent her in that way. But then that was all solved in the bar.

His phone rings and he leans away with a hand over one ear.

BALE: Oh darling, I told you, I've got to do a blah-blah meeting, you'd be really bored here ... we're just sitting at a table talking stupid stuff... But I can't, darling, there's a man who's flown all the way out here. I promise when I come back, I'll give you a big kiss and a hug.

I mean, first of all, let me say whichever superhero first came up with the idea of wearing a cape, he wasn't really onto anything good. The number of times I'm treading on that damn thing or I throw a punch and it ends up covering my whole head. It's really not practical.

Christian Bale

No, only disappointment in myself on those occasions I didn't manage to rise to the occasion as I felt I should've done. I can always see how to do it, and then the challenge is, Can I manage that each and every day?
