Christian Bale has ended his silence on his now-infamous freakout on the set of 'Terminator: Salvation.' Bale unleashed a profanity-filled rant upon the film's director of photography after the man accidentally wandered into a shot. Unfortunately for Bale, the incident was recorded - and leaked to the Internet.

Bale granted an interview to Total Film, explaining that while he takes responsibility for his outburst, he believes the audio recording violated an assumed on-set pact.

WARNING: Video contains profanity. Lots of profanity.

"Hey, I did what I did. I'm not hiding from that. I went overboard," the actor said. "But there is an essential trust and it's not a tacit one, it's a verbal one, a spoken one, which is [that] every sound guy says, 'We are not only not recording, we're not even listening.'"

He added, "It's not in any way a trust that's there to cover up bad behavior. It's not about that. It's an essential trust that's needed for creativity."

Bale insisted that too much information about behind-the-scenes controversy hurts the viewer as much as the actor. Asked if he was concerned that 'Terminator' fans would suffer from having heard the fight, Bale said, "Yeah. It's not in anyone's interest to know that much. I look at it as old-school movie magic and with magic you do not reveal your secrets.... you know, for me, I've never been comfortable with the revealing of those mysteries which I think are wonderful mysteries."

"I've taken real offense ... We're real people. And probably half of the people watching our show, someone in their family has a problem with alcohol and drugs," she said.

Bale added, "I'm not making any excuses, I'm not whining, I'm not going, 'Oh well, if it hadn't have been for that...' Hey, listen, I did it, it's in the public space. Hey, I take the consequences for it. But it's that. It's a creative trust."
