More quotes by 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.
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
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.
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
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.
Michael Fassbender
I don't think peroxide-blond hair is a beneficial look for me.
Michael Fassbender
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.
Michael Fassbender
I love to go into a movie and have no idea what's going to happen in it.
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
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 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
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
I always approach film as a fan.
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
The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.
Michael Fassbender
As an actor, it's always been good to be working at all.
Michael Fassbender
If I'm playing a murderer, I don't go out and start murdering people.
Michael Fassbender
It's such a terrifying thing when mobs of people get together and persecute foreigners.
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
Everyone's crazy anyway. And those who think they aren't, are the ones who are even crazier - because they're in denial.
