''I played Jesus in this TV thing after doing American Psycho -- I had nightmares the whole time, like I haven't had since I was 10 years old. Sitting up in bed, sweating. Stigmata nightmares, those dreams where you think you're awake and then suddenly you realize you're still asleep and there was blood dripping from the ceiling and hitting my palms and things like that. And I was waking up going 'Aaaaaaahh!' -- rubbing my palms in the middle of the night, heart going. But Patrick Bateman? Nothing.'' -- American Psycho's CHRISTIAN BALE, when asked if he was ill at ease playing a serial killer, on ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY ONLINE
