Michael Fassbender Quotes

I’m fairly competitive Picture Quote #1

It’s a difficult thing as an actor not to repeat one’s self Picture Quote #1

As an audience member and as an actor I much prefer to find ambiguity Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I guess in the independent market, I’d be getting offers, but in terms of big studio films, I still have to audition. I don’t think my name is that well-known, I don’t have much of a following to guarantee box office success yet Picture Quote #1

I came to Los Angeles and did auditions for television. I made a terrible mess of most of them and I was quite intimidated. I felt very embarrassed and went back to London. I got British television jobs intermittently between the ages of 23 and 27, but it was very patchy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, ‘I’m good enough’. That became my mantra Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You use words like ‘introvert’ and ‘extrovert,’ various traits of a personality. A lot of that stuff, we used in drama school, and that was kind of interesting, to realize my teachers sort of ripped off a lot of Jung. And how much of it is part of our society now, these phrases, introvert and extrovert, where it actually came from Picture Quote #1

Everyone’s crazy anyway. And those who think they aren’t, are the ones who are even crazier - because they’re in denial Picture Quote #1

For me, addiction comes down to basically where a pattern of behaviour has developed and that pattern of behaviour is becoming a very damaging cycle. It’s sort of damaging your relationships, friends or lovers, it’s damaging your own personal health and it’s damaging for you and your workplace Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Trying to identify and understand, as opposed to judging, is very important for me, in approaching characters Picture Quote #1

You know, it’s amazing. I don’t even have a car, would you believe it? I had a motorbike and it got stolen last year. So I’ve got to buy another one of those, I suppose. I can treat myself to that Picture Quote #1

Magneto has a whole lot of complexity to him. Emotionally, he’s coming from a very damaged place. I like the ambivalence of it. I want the audience leaving the theater wondering, asking the questions themselves rather than being spoon-fed like a lot of these super-villain characters Picture Quote #1

As an audience member, those studio films are fun. I like an adventure tale, and I also like to go see something that has more of a social pulse. I like to keep learning and trying new things. And if the scripts are good, it doesn’t really matter Picture Quote #1

There’s no point in swanning through and being cool as a breeze in every scene. It’s not really that interesting. Even if you’re a superhero Picture Quote #1

What I find really interesting is to try and mix it up, to push myself and try different things. I don’t want to stay in my comfort zone. I want to take risks and keep myself scared Picture Quote #1

The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s such a terrifying thing when mobs of people get together and persecute foreigners Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I might have been curious about actors’ lives when I was growing up. That’s human nature Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I go the cinema, unfortunately nowadays, especially with the big commercial films, the audience is spoon-fed through the entire experience and they don’t have to do any work Picture Quote #1

Any good kitchen should be stocked up in oysters, shouldn’t they? Picture Quote #1
