Michael Fassbender quotes about
curious
We're all curious about a lot of things.
addiction behaviour patterns
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.
car four toys
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.
reading character preparation
Some actors might just do one thing, and another actor does another thing. I do an awful lot of preparation with the script, really. What I do is repeat the script, over and over and over again. Through that, it's almost like it seeps into my enamel. I'm reading all the characters, as well as my own. That is where the bulk of my preparation goes into.
morning guy worst
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.
thinking actors rooms
At one point you think, well, it's funny, I could just be a starving actor. So if somebody were to pull the plug, there'd be no room for complaint.
character decision might
Sometimes if I stick in a character too much I feel like I might start to get blinkered, because I'm making my decisions too definite.
dark interesting sides
It's more interesting isn't it, if I've got a hedonistic dark side?
ocean swim seeing
I could never swim in the ocean after seeing Jaws.
weakness beast beast-within
I’m aware of my weaknesses and THE BEAST WITHIN.
personality trying elements
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.
sexy thinking doctors
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.
teenager character different
The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.
crazy believe should-have
I believe that if you go and see a film you should have to sort of invest something yourself and you have to do a little bit of the work as an audience member, so when you leave the cinema you should be having those conversations either with yourself - if you're crazy like me- or with friends afterwards.
