"My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring." ― Christian Bale Topic(s): Dad More From Christian Bale "Art is something to be proud of. Art is no compromise." "I don’t get it when you get so much openness about the way movies are made, and the special effects and the behind-the-scenes stuff and all of that. I can’t help but feel like this reduces it a little bit." "How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun." More In Dad "I shouldn’t have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said, ‘You’re too young to be married’. ‘What? I’m 35’. Said, ‘You’re far too young. You haven’t lived yet’. He was right, bless him, thanks, Dad."― Rod Stewart "My mum always told me I was precious, while my dad always told me I was worthless. I think that’s a good grounding for a balanced life."― Alan Cumming "You balance the budget by restraining the growth of government and encouraging the growth of the private sector."― Mitt Romney
