Article from The Mirror

This article is helpfull towards my research as Christian Bale talks directly about his methods of acting. Although he denies being a method actor it is arguable that he is by the extreme lengths he goes to become the character he is playing. The article opens my research into a debate into his methods of his acting. From my research so far it seems as though he folows the lines of a method actor.

“I’m not having therapy. It’s very limiting if I have to relate every damn thing in somebody else’s life to something that’s happened in mine. At the end of the day, I’m faking it. Pure imagination.

“I never took any classes, I just go, ‘I better wing this one and make it up!’ Everybody talks about the process too much. The interesting thing about a movie is the movie.

“The more I talk about it, the more I’m telling people how to react. I want to talk, but I try not to show too much of myself.'
