Michael Fassbender quotes about
want metallica lunchtime
Nobody wants to hear Metallica at lunchtime.
names choices want
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.
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!
want x-men accepting-yourself
You want society to accept you; but you can’t even accept yourself.
asking coming complexity damaged rather theater themselves
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.
doe film plans
I don't like to plan anything ever because it never seems to work. I'm just really...let's just get this film out and see how this one does.
art hair pie
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.
spoons cinema film
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.
character interesting people
Nowadays, especially in big commercial films it's much easier for the audience, and they tend to get spoonfed. It's much more interesting to me, people leave the theater and they start asking themselves questions and find their own moral compass about what these characters have been doing.
children thinking ideas
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.
motivation character insecurity
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.
study academic
I've always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.
opportunity people strange
People are complicated. Our behavior towards one another is strange. So I like opportunities to investigate that.
dad phones europe
I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5,000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Italy... and then I did Spain and France by myself.
