The arts are very alive in Ireland, so that had its influence on me. But I consider myself European, really.

More quotes by Michael Fassbender
I love to go into a movie and have no idea what's going to happen in it.
Michael Fassbender
I don't know what's going to happen. I'm flavor of the month at the moment, but somebody else is going to roll around the corner in three months' time. I just want to keep working. I can't stop!
Michael Fassbender
I always approach film as a fan.
Michael Fassbender
It's more interesting isn't it, if I've got a hedonistic dark side?
Michael Fassbender
There's so much going on in the world. There's so much information being thrown at us - so many things are being sold to us, and we're being told how we should appear and how to be more successful, blah, blah, blah. How does that manifest itself? In the pressures, the stress, this need to escape.
Michael Fassbender
[As an actor] I have ideas, but things should always be fluid. You should always be ready to follow an instinct. Something might reveal itself on the day.
Michael Fassbender
If you're dealing with a character that actually exists, there's an awful lot of information there. So, you can put together, from the information, motivations, insecurities, reactions. Where does that seed get born, if you like?... What I do is put that together.
Michael Fassbender
I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5,000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Italy... and then I did Spain and France by myself.
Michael Fassbender
You want society to accept you but you can’t even accept yourself.
Michael Fassbender
There's no point thinking, 'Well, my life's certainly worked out, I've got all the answers.' It would be wrong for me to say that I don't get seduced by certain things. That things don't become tempting.
Michael Fassbender
It's such a terrifying thing when mobs of people get together and persecute foreigners.
Michael Fassbender
At one point you think, well, it's funny, I could just be a starving actor... So if somebody were to pull the plug right now, there'd be no room for complaint.
Michael Fassbender
Scratch the surface of what's socially normal. I suppose in some way all of us have something we display to the public and things we feel too ashamed of or uncomfortable with to reveal to other people.
Michael Fassbender
Trying to identify and understand, as opposed to judging, is very important for me, in approaching characters.
Michael Fassbender
We moved to Ireland when I was two and we settled in Killarney, Co Kerry. Where we were living in Germany is very industrial and very grey and my parents wanted to have countryside around for my sister and I to grow up in.
Michael Fassbender
Why not provoke some thought and get people talking about things? I like characters that are flawed because we all are. When people break up in a script, you think, Oh, right, there must be tears shed here. But maybe the fact of the matter is that they're both laughing.
Michael Fassbender
As an actor, it's always been good to be working at all.
Michael Fassbender
Why does a three-year-old, and it's usually boys, want to drive the tractor or have machinery and be in control of it? I don't know. Why wouldn't you ask to boil a kettle or something? Maybe you would, I dunno.
Michael Fassbender
I think the fact that us as a race still continues to be very tribal and we haven't really moved away from that over hundreds and hundreds of years of experience.
Michael Fassbender
I could never swim in the ocean after seeing Jaws.
