Michael Fassbender Quotes

"When I got the script I thought I really want to do this but I have to lose all this weight ... is anybody going to see it, does anybody really want to watch people smearing walls with faeces and starving themselves to death? It's hardcore, it's relentless but then I met Steve and I thought he was really interesting and I was definitely going to learn a lot from him. So I thought I've got to do this."—Michael Fassbender on his role as Bobby Sands in Hunger¹
