Quotes by Michael Fassbender
Michael Fassbender's insights on:
My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough.' That became my mantra.
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.
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.
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...
I’ve always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.
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.
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.
