Bale's Quote from Empire Magazine

「Mary Harron 在拍 "American Psycho" 時，她對我採取 100% 的信任態度。我想這是因為我們兩個之間相互信任，我們對作品的表現有共同的認識。她面試了好幾個演員，但是其他演員完全無法發現這部作品的幽默之處。我看出這部作品充滿了幽默及荒唐 － 而 Mary 也看出了這些點。當我們在試演的時候，我們沒有辦法完成那個鏡頭，因為攝影機不斷的搖晃，她無法自制的大笑了起來，而我也跟著一起大笑。我們彼此有著相同的幽默感。

這部作品恐怖得荒唐 － 而且十分古怪。而且這些笑點都來自 Bateman 的行為。Mary 將它視作一部諷刺作品 － 透過這部作品去檢視那個時期的社會禮儀，重點並在那個連續殺人犯。這也是我想藉這部作品去表達的想法。那是一部我拍過最有趣的電影...
你問我 Steven （Spielberg）？我跟你說，過了這麼多年，我真的很高興能夠出現在 Empire 他的特集中。」
"MARY HARRON TOOK A TOTAL LEAP OF FAITH ON ME with American Psycho. I think the reason was that we understood each other and how we wanted to approach the movie. She had auditioned a number of people and where the other actors had not found it funny in the slightest, I found it nothing but funny and ridiculous - as did she. While we were filming the audition, we couldn't finished takes because the camera was shaking and she was busting up laughing and I was busting up laughing. We shared the same sense of humour.
"It's scary in a ridiculous manner - it's so outlandish. And the laughter is all at Bateman's expense. Mary's approach to it as a satire - a look at the social etiquette of the era, rather than a movie about a serial killer - was exactly waht I wanted to do. It was one of the most fun movie I've ever shot... "And Steven? You know what, it's nice to be in his special issue of Empire, after all these years!"

Bale！我們播放 Phil Collins（菲爾柯林斯，英國歌手。 "American Psycho" 裡面有用他的歌曲）的歌曲幫他入戲。「我能夠在空氣中嗅到那個感覺。喔，老天爺。」只是他沒那個 feel...

Bale! We played Phil Collins at the shoot to get him in the mood. "I can feel it coming in the air tonight. Oh, Lord." He wasn't impressed.

雖然他因為 TDK 大紅大紫，可是他最受矚目的仍然是 "American Psycho"～
呵呵呵呵（意味不明的傻笑）
如果注意看，Bale 穿這套西裝拍照的時候，腳底上穿的還是運動鞋！
