Michael Fassbender quotes about
flavor-of-the-month want months
I don't know what's going to happen. I'm flavor of the month at the moment, but somebody else is going to roll around the corner in three months' time. I just want to keep working. I can't stop!
things-in-life laughing people
If you're dealing with heavy topic matter, sometimes it's good to have a lightness going into it because it allows you to be open to possibilities, rather than getting rigidly stuck into a certain mind-set. People are strange. When you break up, sometimes you end up laughing with one another, as opposed to crying. Things in life are unusual, and to find those things, it's best to be relaxed.
believe years car
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.
stranger
I'm not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don't.
independent thinking names
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.
want x-men accepting-yourself
You want society to accept you; but you can’t even accept yourself.
growing-up human-nature curious
I might have been curious about actors' lives when I was growing up. That's human nature.
people way normal
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.
stress successful needs
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.
girlfriend kind shame
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.
difficult
It's a difficult thing as an actor not to repeat one's self.
goal acting income
My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough'. That became my mantra.
crazy position privileged
I take my work seriously but I can't take myself too seriously. I'm in such a crazy privileged position.
thinking answers would-be
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.
