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.

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.

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
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.

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

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.

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

I think that idea of alienation, for whatever reason, is still very prevalent within our society and a lot of people deal with it - most people deal with it at some point in their life unless they're sort of the golden child. I think that's something that we all need to address.

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

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.
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!

You want society to accept you but you can’t even accept yourself.
Michael Fassbender
Image
Everyone's crazy anyway. And those who think they aren't, are the ones who are even crazier - because they're in denial.

It's such a terrifying thing when mobs of people get together and persecute foreigners.

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

I'm fairly competitive.

I've always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.

Everything I put my name to and take part in, I want to be good. That's not saying it will always happen. But I want to make bold choices.

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

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.

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.
