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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I might have been curious about actors' lives when I was growing up. That's human nature.
Michael Fassbender
Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
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.

I love to go into a movie and have no idea what's going to happen in it.

The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.

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

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

Any good kitchen should be stocked up in oysters, shouldn't they?

I don't think peroxide-blond hair is a beneficial look for me.
