    Christian Bale Quotation


    "An actor should never be larger than the film he's in." (Spin, March 96)

    "It was horrific. I was almost crying in interviews and running away during press conferences, pretending I was going to the bathroom and just disappearing." - on dealing with the resulting media attention of Empire of the Sun at age 13.

    "I enjoyed making the film, but I was shocked when I received all the attention when I got home to Bournemouth. Girls were all over me, boys wanted to fight me and I was being asked to open local fetes when all I wanted to do was ride my BMX bike in the woods. I told my parents I wasn't interested in doing anything again because the attention ruined it." - on the sudden fame that resulted after Empire of the Sun

    "I don't want to know about the lives of other actors and I don't want people to know too much about me. If we don't know about the private lives of other actors, that leaves us as clean slates when it comes to playing characters. That's the point, they can create these other characters and I can believe them. I think if you're a good enough actor, that's the way to longevity in the film business. Keep everybody guessing."

    "I started my career without fans."

    [referring to the dragons]
    Denton Van Zan 'Dragon Slayer' : Ever see a male?
    Quinn Abercromby : When I'm running for my life I generally don't look back at the plumbing.


    Quinn Abercromby : That's a big tank...

    [Upon seeing London, totally destroyed by the dragons.]
    Quinn Abercromby : Well, this town's gone to Hell.


    Denton Van Zan 'Dragon Slayer' : We're going to London.
    Quinn Abercromby : Good luck. It's that way.

    [after Quinn let Van Zan in]
    Creedy : I'm sure you have a perfectly good explanation for this, but I'm buggered if I know what it is.
    Quinn Abercromby : He's a Dragon Slayer.
    Creedy : What?
    Quinn Abercromby : A Dragon Slayer.
    Creedy : Oh, he's a Dragon Slayer. So that would make you King Arthur then?

    Jim : I was dreaming about God.
    Mother : What did he say?
    Jim : Nothing. [smiles]
    Jim : He was playing tennis.

    [Frank and Basie are about to leave Jim in the street]
    Jim : [desperately] Basie, first I could show you some rich pickings. Hundreds of houses left empty. I could show you some of the houses I lived in before Frank found me. They were luxuriant!
    Basie : Luxuriant? You had good sense being born there, Jim. I'm sure there was good living.
    Jim : There certainly was good living, Basie. There - there was opulence!
    Basie : Heh heh. Opulence. Frank, we'll go and take a look at some of these houses. Let's go, Frank. Opulence.


    Jim : If the Americans land, the Japanese will fight.

    Dr. Rawlins : That's important, is it, Jim?
    Jim : It's a good thing if you want to win a war.

    Jim : Yes. I've never been there.


    Jim : We'll have to leave the camp.
    Basie : That's the idea, Jim. First one side feeds you and the other side tries to get you killed, then it's turned around; it's all timing.


    Basie : Jim, didn't I teach you anything?
    Jim : Yes! You taught me that people will do anything for a potato.

    Jim : I saw it! I saw it! It was like a white light in the sky.


    Jim : Learned a new word today. Atom bomb. It was like the God taking a photograph.


    Jim : Amatus sum, amatus es, amatus est.

    [Jim's hassling the truck driver on the way to Soochow]
    Jim : Do you know where we are? We're here, see? And now we have to turn left. Do you hear me? When I say turn left, you turn left! When I say turn right, turn right! You have to do what I say otherwise we'll never get to Soochow then you'll be shot!


    Jim : Dr. Rawlin, do you remember how we had helped build the runway? If we die like the others, our bones would be IN the runway. In a way, it's OUR runway...
    Dr. Rawlins : No it's THEIR runway, Jim! Try not to think so much! Try not to THINK so much!

    [After Basie's friend killed Jim's Japanese friend]
    Jim : Bastard! He gave me a mango!
    Basie : I'll give you a whole goddamn fruit salad. There are Frigidares falling from the sky. It's kingdom come!

    Jamie : Jamie and I'm building a man-flying kite and writing a book called Contract Bridge.
    Basie : Jim a new name for a new life.


    Basie : Don't let me down kid you're an American now.
    Jim : [in a Brooklyn accent] Hey how'ya doin' Frank?


    Jim : [during an American airstrike] P-51! Cadillac of the sky!





    Movie Title: Velvet Goldmine (1998) as Arthur Stuart / Arthur:



    Arthur ,
    Curt Wild : I will mangle your mind.


    Curt Wild : We set out to change the world... ended up just changing ourselves.
    Arthur Stuart : What's wrong with that?
    Curt Wild : Nothing, if you don't look at the world.


    Arthur : You're hiding something.
    Mandy : What makes you think that?
    Arthur : That smile, for one thing.
    Mandy : Well, smiles lie.
    Arthur : Exactly.





    Movie Title: Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) as Mandras:

    Movie Title: Equilibrium (2002) as John Preston:



    DuPont : And you, Preston, the supposed savior of the resistance, are now its destroyer, and, along with them, you've given me yourself... calmly... coolly... entirely without incident.
    John Preston : [Polygraph machine scribbling rapidly] No. [Polygraph suddenly registers Preston completely in control] Technician: Oh... Shit.
    John Preston : Not without incident.


    DuPont : Wait! Wait! Look at me. Look at me. I'm life. I live... I, I breathe... I feel. Now that you know it... can you really take it? Is it really worth the price? [Preston sees a flash of Mary's face]
    John Preston : I pay it gladly.


    Mary : Let me ask you something. [Grabs his hand]
    Mary : Why are you alive?
    John Preston : [Breaks free] I'm alive... I live... to safeguard the continuity of this great society. To serve Libria.
    Mary : It's circular. You exist to continue your existence. What's the point?
    John Preston : What's the point of your existence?
    Mary : To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.


    Robbie Preston : [turns off TV] John?
    John Preston : Yes?
    Robbie Preston : I saw Robbie Taylor crying today. He didn't know, but I saw. Do you think I should report him?
    John Preston : Unquestionably.


    John Preston : I'll do what I can to see they go easy on you.
    Partridge : We both know they never "go easy".
    John Preston : Then, I'm sorry.
    Partridge : No, you're not. You don't even know the meaning. Its just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt.


    Mary : What... what'll you do?
    John Preston : ...I don't know.


    John Preston : There's no war. No murder.
    Partridge : What is it you think we do?
    John Preston : No. You've been with me, you've seen how it can be - the jealousy, rage.
    Partridge : A heavy cost. I pay it gladly. [Reaches for his gun]

    [trying to convince a group of rebels that he's letting them escape]
    John Preston : Go. Go, damm you! [sees another rebel being shot and knows this group will be next]
    John Preston : Get out of here, God damn it! If you don't, you're dead! Rebel: Don't do it. He'll shoot us in the back.
    John Preston : If I was gonna shoot you, I'd shoot you in the face. Now go.


    John Preston : Then I have no choice but to remand you to the Palace of Justice for processing.
    Mary : Processing. You mean execution, don't you?
    John Preston : Processing.

    Jack Kelly : You shouldn't be callin' people lousy little shrimps, Oscar, unless you're referrin' to the family resemblance in your brother here.


    Crutchy : But you can't let 'em beat you, right Jack? That's what you always said.
    Jack : We was beat when we was born.


    Jack : I'm just not used to havin' whether I stay or whether I go matter to anybody. Not that it should matter to you. I'm just sayin', um, well, does it? Matter?


    David Jacobs : My father taught us not to lie.
    Jack : Well mine told me not to starve so we both have an education.


    Jack Kelly : You only took 20 papes, why?
    David Jacobs : It's a bad headline.
    Jack Kelly : Well, dat's da foist thing ya gotta learn, headlines don't sell papes. Newsies sell papes.


    Jack Kelly : It ain't lyin'. It's just improvin' the truth a little.


    Jack Kelly : For a dreamer night's the only time of day.


    Jack : So what do you say, Spot?
    Spot Conlon : I say... that what you say... is what I say.


    Jack : There's a lot of people out there and they ain't just gonna go away. They got voices now and they're goin' to be listened to. Putting them in jail is not going to stop them. That's the power of the press Joe. So thanks for teaching me about it.
    Seitz : Those kids put out a pretty good paper there Chief
    Joseph Pulitzer : I ordered a printing ban on all strike matters. Now, who defied me? Who's press did you use to print this on? Who's?
    Jack : Well, we only use the best, Joe. So, I just want to say, thanks again.


    David Jacobs : What do you think your doing?
    Jack Kelly : Runnin'!


    David Jacobs : All right, everyone just remain calm!
    Jack Kelly : Let's soak 'em for Crutchy!


    Crutchy : Jack, when I walk, does it look like I'm fakin' it?
    Jack : Nah, Crutchy, who says yeh fakin' it?
    Crutchy : I don't know... It's just there's so many fake crips on the streets today, a real crip ain't got a chance. I gotta find me a new sellin' spot where they ain't used to seein' me!
    Mush : [singing] Try Bottle Alley or da harbor
    Racetrack : [singing] Try Central Park it's guaranteed
    Jack : [singing] Try any banker, bum, or barber
    Skittery : [singing] They almost all knows how to read.

    Peoples Hernandez : More or less

    Thomas : Going back is his only chance. He'll die if he stays here.





    Movie Title: Little Women (1994) as Laurie:



    Laurie : Hello! Jo! Come over here. You too, Meg. It's dull as tombs around here.


    Laurie : What do those girls do over there all day?
    John Brooke : Over the mysteries of female life there is drawn a veil, best left undisturbed.


    Jo : If I weren't going to be a writer I'd go to New York and pursue the stage. Are you shocked?
    Laurie : Very.


    Jo March : [Accidentally sits on Laurie] I'm sorry!
    Laurie : Oh, no, stay! It's not a bad hiding place. You see, I don't know anyone so I feel awkward standing and staring at people. Should I put on my jacket? I don't know the rules.
    Jo March : Well, I...
    Laurie : I'm, um, Laurie. Theodore Lawrernce but I'm called Laurie.
    Jo March : Jo March. So, who were you staring at?
    Laurie : Well, you actually. What game were you playing?
    Jo March : I don't know but I think I won. Who else?
    Laurie : Well, I was- I was quite taken with... that one.
    Jo March : Oh, that's Meg. That's my sister. She's completely bald in front. Is it true that you lived in Italy among artists and vagrints?
    Laurie : Well, my mother was Italian, a, uh, pianist. Grandfather disapproved of her.
    Jo March : Truly? I saw a play like that once. Do you like the theater?
    Laurie : Oh yes.
    Jo March : Were you born there?
    Laurie : Where? In- [laughing]
    Laurie : in, uh, Italy.
    Jo March : Do you speak French or Italian?
    Laurie : English at home. Francias a l'ecole. The music conservatory in Vevey. But Grandfather is having me tutored now. He insists I go to college.
    Jo March : Oh, I'd commit murder to go to college. Actually, I'm going to Europe. Well, atleast I hope I am. My Great-Aunt-Marge says she'll go one of these days and she has to take me with her because I work as her companion. I have to read to her for hours and hours. But I do all the voices.
    Laurie : I bet you do.
    Jo March : If I weren't going to be a writer, I'd go to New York to pursue the stage. Are you shocked?
    Laurie : Very.

    Doctor: There is nothing I can do. If I were to bleed her, it would finish her. We must send for the mother.
    Laurie : Forgive me. I have already done so.


    Amy : I don't wanna die. I've never even been kissed. I've waited my whole to be kissed, and what if I miss it?
    Laurie : I tell you what. I promise to kiss you before you die.


    Laurie : I have loved you since the moment I clamped eyes on you. What could be more reasonable than to marry you?
    Jo March : We'd kill each other.
    Laurie : Nonsense!
    Jo March : Neither of us can keep our temper-...
    Laurie : I can, unless provoked.
    Jo March : We're both stupidly stubborn, especially you. We'd only quarrel!
    Laurie : I wouldn't!
    Jo March : You can't even propose without quarreling.


    Laurie : I'm quite taken by that one.
    Jo : That's Meg!
    Laurie : Meg.
    Jo : That's my sister. She's completely bald in front.


    Laurie : Someday you'll find a man, a good man, and you'll love him, and marry him, and live and die for him. And I'll be hanged if I stand by and watch.


    Amy : Have you heard from Jo? She has befriended a German professor.
    Laurie : I envy her happiness. I envy his happiness. I envy John Brooke for marrying Meg. I hate Fred Vaughn. And if Beth had a lover I would despise him too. Just as you have always known that you would never marry a pauper, I have always known that I belong to the March family.
    Amy : I will not be loved for my family...





    Movie Title: Metroland (1997) as Chris:



    Marion : Anyway, I want it to be you that I make love to.
    Chris : It's me! It's me, darling!
    Marion : No, it's not. It's eight pints of lager with an erection.





    Movie Title: American Psycho (2000) as Patrick Bateman:



    Patrick Bateman : I don't want you to get drunk, but that's a very expensive glass of Chardonnay you're NOT drinking there. It isn't poisoned.


    Patrick Bateman : Harold, it's Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You're my lawyer so I think you should know: I've killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown uh, some homeless people maybe 5 or 10 um an NYU girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man uh some old faggot with a dog last week. I killed another girl with a chainsaw, I had to, she almost got away and uh someone else there I can't remember maybe a model, but she's dead too. And Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen. I don't want to leave anything out here. I guess I've killed maybe 20 people, maybe 40. I have tapes of a lot of it, uh some of the girls have seen the tapes. I even, um... I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to kill a LOT of people. And I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time. I guess I'll uh, I mean, ah, I guess I'm a pretty uh, I mean I guess I'm a pretty sick guy. So, if you get back tomorrow, meet me at Harry's Bar, so you know, keep your eyes open.


    Patrick Bateman : You're a fucking ugly bitch. I want to stab you to death, and then play around with your blood.


    Patrick Bateman : I want you to clean your vagina.


    Patrick Bateman : I'm on a diet.
    Jean : What, your kidding, right? You look great... so fit... and thin.
    Patrick Bateman : Well, you can always look thinner.
    Jean : Then maybe we shouldn't go out to dinner. I wouldn't want you to lose your willpower.
    Patrick Bateman : That's okay. I'm not very good at controlling it anyway.


    Patrick Bateman : Not quite blonde, are we? More of a dirty blonde.


    Patrick Bateman : I like to dissect women. Did you know I'm utterly insane?


    Patrick Bateman : My need to engage in homicidal behavior on a massive scale cannot be corrected, but, ah, I have no other way to fulfill my needs.


    Patrick Bateman : There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.


    Waiter : Would you like to hear today's specials?
    Patrick Bateman : Not if you want to keep your spleen.


    Patrick Bateman : I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.


    Patrick Bateman : Do you know what Ed Gein said about women?
    David Van Patten : The maitre 'd at Canal Bar?
    Patrick Bateman : No, serial killer, Wisconsin, the '50s.
    Craig McDermott : So what did he say?
    Patrick Bateman : "When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part wants me to take her out, talk to her, be real nice and sweet and treat her right."
    David Van Patten : And what did the other part think?
    Patrick Bateman : "What her head would look like on a stick..." [laughs]


    Patrick Bateman : Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.


    Patrick Bateman : Wasn't Rothschild originally handling the Fisher account? How did you get it?
    Paul Allen : Well, Halberstram, I could tell you... but then I'd have to kill ya.

    [Just after breaking up]
    Evelyn Williams : Where are you going?
    Patrick Bateman : I am just leaving.
    Evelyn Williams : But where?
    Patrick Bateman : I have to return some videotapes.


    Patrick Bateman : He was into that whole Yale thing.
    Donald Kimball : Yale thing?
    Patrick Bateman : Yeah, Yale thing.
    Donald Kimball : What whole Yale thing?
    Patrick Bateman : Well, he was probably a closet homosexual who did a lot of cocaine. That whole Yale thing.


    Courtney Rawlinson : Listen Patrick, can we talk?
    Patrick Bateman : You look... marvelous. There's nothing to say.


    Patrick Bateman : I don't think we should see each other.
    Evelyn Williams : But your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends. I don't think it would work. You have a little something...
    Patrick Bateman : I know that your friends are my friends and, uh... I thought about that. You can have'em.


    David Van Patten : [re: business card] Nice color.
    Patrick Bateman : That's 'Bone'.


    Timothy Bryce : He makes himself out to be a harmless old codger, but inside... inside...
    Patrick Bateman : [voice-over] ..."but inside" doesn't matter.
    Craig McDermott : "Inside," yes, "inside..." - believe it or not, Bryce, we're actually listening to you...
    Timothy Bryce : Come on, Bateman, what do you think?
    Patrick Bateman : Whatever.


    Patrick Bateman : There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continuous to allude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.


    Patrick Bateman : Paul Allen has mistaken me for this dickhead Marcus Halberstram. It seems logical because Marcus also works at P&P and in fact does the same exact thing I do and he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses. Marcus and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut.


    Patrick Bateman : Do you like Huey Lewis and the news?
    Paul Allen : They're OK.
    Patrick Bateman : Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83,I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
    Paul Allen : Hey Halberstram.
    Patrick Bateman : Yes, Allen?
    Paul Allen : Why are their copies of the style section all over the place, d-do you have a dog? A little chow or something?
    Patrick Bateman : No, Allen.
    Paul Allen : Is that a rain coat?
    Patrick Bateman : Yes it is! In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. [raises axe above head]
    Patrick Bateman : Hey Paul! [he bashes Allen in the head with the axe, and blood splatters over him]
    Patrick Bateman : TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!

    [Recurring line]
    Patrick Bateman : I have to return some videotapes.


    Patrick Bateman : [to drycleaner] If you don't shut your fucking mouth, I will kill you.


    Patrick Bateman : You're dating Louis and he's in Arizona. You're fucking me and we don't have plans tonight. What could you possibly be doing?

    [to Al, a homeless person]
    Patrick Bateman : Get a god-damn job Al.


    Evelyn Williams : You're inhuman.
    Patrick Bateman : No... .I'm in touch with humanity.


    Jean : Make someone happy. Have you ever wanted to?
    Patrick Bateman : I'm looking for, uh... [Puts nail gun to the back of Jean's head]
    Patrick Bateman : I guess you could say I just want to have a meaningful relationship with someone special.


    Patrick Bateman : I think if you stay, something bad will happen. I think I might hurt you. You don't want to get hurt, do you?
    Jean : No. No, I guess not. I don't want to get bruised.


    Courtney Rawlinson : Stop it, I'm...
    Patrick Bateman : - on a lot of lithium?


    Evelyn Williams : You hate that job anyway. I don't see why you don't just quit.
    Patrick Bateman : Because I want to fit in.


    Patrick Bateman : [voice-over] There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul's apartment overlooks the park... and is obviously more expensive than mine.


    Patrick Bateman : Did you know that Ted Bundy's first dog was a collie named Lassie? [laughs]
    Jean : Who's Ted Bundy?


    Courtney Rawlinson : Will you call me before Easter?
    Patrick Bateman : Maybe.


    Patrick Bateman : Ask me a question.
    Daisy : What do you do?
    Patrick Bateman : I'm into... well murders and executions mostly.
    Daisy : Do you like it?
    Patrick Bateman : It depends. Why?
    Daisy : Because most guys I know who work with mergers an acquisitions really don't like it.


    Patrick Bateman : Jean, I'm not going to make it... I'm not going to... make it... to the office this afternoon.
    Jean : [alarmed] What is it, Patrick? Are you alright?
    Patrick Bateman : Stop sounding so fucking... sad. Jesus.

    [repeated line]
    Patrick Bateman : Just say no.


    Jean : What's that?
    Patrick Bateman : Duct tape. I need it for... taping something.


    Patrick Bateman : Hey, I'm a child of divorce, gimme a break!


    Patrick Bateman : [voice over] As we enter the restaurant, I am almost in tears, fearing we won't get a good table. But thankfully we do, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave.


    Timothy Bryce : [after snorting "cut" cocaine] I want to get high off this, not sprinkle it on my fucking Oaties.
    Patrick Bateman : Definitely weak, but I have a feeling that if we do enough of it we'll be okay.

    Arvid : I would rather belong to any one... ANYONE, than belong to the Nazis like you do.
    Thomas Berger : That's because you have everything backwards. Nazis go anywhere they want, do anything they want, everyone gets out of our way.
    Arvid : Quiz time. Got your glasses on.
    Thomas Berger : What?
    Arvid : It means you don't know who your friends are.


    Thomas Berger : Come on man, we'll be Swing Kids by night and Hitler Youth by day.


    Thomas Berger : We can't let them split us apart.


    Emil : Lesson's over, Swing Heil.
    Thomas Berger : Hey! It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Do wah, do wah, do wah, do wah, do wah.


    Thomas Berger : I'm a cowboy, and you're a pansy.
