I'm fairly competitive.

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

Image
I could never swim in the ocean after seeing Jaws.

Image
The arts are very alive in Ireland, so that had its influence on me. But I consider myself European, really.
Michael Fassbender
Image
I love to go into a movie and have no idea what's going to happen in it.
Michael Fassbender
Image
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
Trying to identify and understand, as opposed to judging, is very important for me, in approaching characters.

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

[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.

Image
Big things have small beginnings.

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
It's such a terrifying thing when mobs of people get together and persecute foreigners.
Michael Fassbender
Image
I've always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.
Michael Fassbender
Image
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
Image
I might have been curious about actors' lives when I was growing up. That's human nature.
Michael Fassbender
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.
