More quotes by 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 don't think peroxide-blond hair is a beneficial look for me.
Michael Fassbender
It's more interesting isn't it, if I've got a hedonistic dark side?
Michael Fassbender
You want society to accept you but you can’t even accept yourself.
Michael Fassbender
I suppose the doctor-patient relationship has that idea of transference. I think it's a special thing that doctors have. We all find doctors sexy. That's why there are so many TV shows about doctors.
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
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
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
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 could never swim in the ocean after seeing Jaws.
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
When I was four, I just wanted to drive, I collected toy cars. Where does that sort of thing come from? In hindsight you go, 'Oh, liked it because of this.' Maybe it's just the wheel.
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 always approach film as a fan.
Michael Fassbender
I'm fairly competitive.
Michael Fassbender
Any good kitchen should be stocked up in oysters, shouldn't they?
Michael Fassbender
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.
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
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
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.
