Christian Bale gets a thrill out of speeding on his motorbike.

The 'Terminator Salvation' actor enjoys riding the powerful vehicle as it helps to clear his mind of any problems.

He said: "I dream and see the asphalt speeding past me. I like the solitude of it. You're in charge of your own machine."

Christian, who unleashed a foul-mouthed attack on a crew member while shooting the new 'Terminator' movie, insists he is working on improving his attitude and manners.

The 35-year-old actor added to USA Today newspaper: "People seem to have this perception of me which couldn't be more wrong. I also maintain that it's not bad to have people misunderstand you completely.

"I'm still sort of finding that whole balance of being there and having a good energy and being positive - contrary to what most people would think. You talk to any crew member - I always respect each and every person's job. I'm always there for them."
