There was a great complexity to my father. He was a devoted family man. But, in the same breath, he simply was not suited to an anchored life. He should have been somebody who had a backpack, an old map, a bit of change in his pocket and that was it – roaming the world. – Christian Bale
Look, Ive got incredible pride for my family. Ive absolutely fallen into that cliche of a dad who could just happily talk about my daughter endlessly. – Christian Bale
My hope is that people will be repulsed by the characters complete lack of ethics and obsession with consumerism – thats what I was saying about the difference between the characters message and the films message. – Christian Bale
Im an actor Im not a politician. I always kick myself when I talk too much about family, or personal things. – Christian Bale
I dont want to clip on the armour every morning. Ive seen some politicians do this and they get a bit mangled and bitter. I just refuse to do that. I refuse to be angry or bitter or complain, and I remain open. I may sometimes be a bit too open but Im not going to change that one bit. – Nick Clegg
