More quotes by 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
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
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
My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough'. That became my mantra.
Michael Fassbender
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.
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 might have been curious about actors' lives when I was growing up. That's human nature.
Michael Fassbender
Trying to identify and understand, as opposed to judging, is very important for me, in approaching characters.
Michael Fassbender
The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.
Michael Fassbender
I could never swim in the ocean after seeing Jaws.
Michael Fassbender
The arts are very alive in Ireland, so that had its influence on me. But I consider myself European, really.
Michael Fassbender
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.
Michael Fassbender
I'm fairly competitive.
Michael Fassbender
I'm always interested in trying to investigate different personalities. I want to keep myself guessing and keep the fear element alive, so that I don't get too comfortable.
Michael Fassbender
I always approach film as a fan.
Michael Fassbender
I try my best to find variety in what I'm doing, but there's a lot out there that's the same.
Michael Fassbender
I've always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.
Michael Fassbender
If I'm playing a murderer, I don't go out and start murdering people.
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
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.
