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

Trying to identify and understand, as opposed to judging, is very important for me, in approaching characters.

If there's friends around, I'll cook. Or if I have a girlfriend. But on my own I kind of fell out of the habit of it, and it's a shame really because I know it's good for me. It's something quite therapeutic.

You want society to accept you but you can’t even accept yourself.

It's more interesting isn't it, if I've got a hedonistic dark side?

Image
As an actor, it's always been good to be working at all.

Image
I don't think peroxide-blond hair is a beneficial look for me.
Michael Fassbender
Image
I don't like to plan anything ever because it never seems to work. I'm just really...let's just get this film out and see how this one does.
Michael Fassbender
Image
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!

Nowadays, especially in big commercial films it's much easier for the audience, and they tend to get spoonfed. It's much more interesting to me, people leave the theater and they start asking themselves questions and find their own moral compass about what these characters have been doing.

It's the worst thing if you're sitting there in the theater, going, Oh, that's the guy who dates this person and likes to do this in the morning and that in the afternoon. Then you're just watching a brand, as opposed to an actor.

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
Image
I might have been curious about actors' lives when I was growing up. That's human nature.
Michael Fassbender
Image
The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.

Image
If I'm playing a murderer, I don't go out and start murdering people.
Michael Fassbender
Image
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.

Image
Everyone's crazy anyway. And those who think they aren't, are the ones who are even crazier - because they're in denial.

Image
My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough'. That became my mantra.

Image
I'm fairly competitive.

Image
We did a lot of that in drama school: intellectualising and maybe justifying your position. 'I am a thinking actor and I have thought this through' - well, just do it. I much prefer the doing aspect.

I try my best to find variety in what I'm doing, but there's a lot out there that's the same.
