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.

I don't think peroxide-blond hair is a beneficial look for me.
Michael Fassbender
I'm fairly competitive.
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
I'm not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don't.
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
The arts are very alive in Ireland, so that had its influence on me. But I consider myself European, really.
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
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'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’m aware of my weaknesses and THE BEAST WITHIN.
Michael Fassbender
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
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
The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.
Michael Fassbender
If I'm playing a murderer, I don't go out and start murdering people.
Michael Fassbender
You know, when you finish the day, and you finish the scene, you don't get a chance to go back to it. So you wanna make sure that everything is left on the floor.
Michael Fassbender
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.
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
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
Being movie director you've got the art department, you've got the actors, you've got the camera department, you've got make-up and hair, and props. You've got your finger in all these pies, and you're making sure that everything cooks at the right temperature.
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.
