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.
From Michael Fassbender
My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough.' That became my mantra.
I've always been more inclined to go out to work than carry on with academic studies.
I'm fairly competitive.
I don't think peroxide-blond hair is a beneficial look for me.
Nobody wants to hear Metallica at lunchtime.
'Hunger' definitely changed my life, in terms of being recognized by filmmakers, since that was very much a filmmakers' film.
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.
People are complicated. Our behavior towards one another is strange. So I like opportunities to investigate that.
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.
