"I think the philosophy of it as well, you know, the whole idea of alienation, misfits in society," Fassbender added. "And how they struggle to be accepted and to find a place for them in society. I think that’s a universal theme. That’s why people across the world find them intriguing."
"Well, I just saw it as an opportunity to do a really elaborate James Bond audition! One always has to worry about the next job, you see, that’s the problem."
"I just really concentrated on what was in the comic books. The biography available in the comic books, it was so dense that I was spoiled for choice really to go away and really just create this sort of Machiavellian character."
