“Dieter Dengler was an amazing man. Who knows what he would've been had he not ever been tested in this way? It's a question that I certainly have myself. What would I be able to do in certain situations? He came out, obviously, looking like a true hero, but he didn't go in looking like that. He was not your typical image of somebody that you would think would be the tough guy who was able to endure. His lighthearted attitude, this sort of dorkiness, and naivete; it ended up being the finest tool for his survival.” ThinkingKnowsMenWayWould BeAbleGuyCertainAttitudeSituationHeroSurvivalToughToolsEndureTypicalFinestTestedTough GuyNaiveteTrue HeroAmazing Man Author:Christian Bale

“I don't think I was particularly in need of superheroes. I never had any fascination with Superman or Spider-Man or a Batman kind of character.
