More quotes by Ewan McGregor
The beautiful thing about it is that no two directors or actors work the same way. You also learn not to be afraid of discussion and conflict.
Ewan McGregor
I'm sent a script. I read the script. If I love it, I want to do it. And that's it I don't care who's in it, how much money is behind it, really to an extent who's directing it.
Ewan McGregor
I hate the word celebrity. I'm not a celebrity, I'm an actor.
Ewan McGregor
I'm not really attracted to action sequences, because my experience is that it's quite a slow process to shoot them, and often we're not involved as actors.
Ewan McGregor
There's very few directors that know what that rehearsal's for. And often it's just about calming down the director. If he could see it or she sees it, she goes oh, it's going to be okay.
Ewan McGregor
Everything you do on set is directly related to your imagination when you read the script for the first time.
Ewan McGregor
Giving kids whatever they ask for is disastrous parenting. There's no sense of something earned. I'm sorry, but when you're 12, you don't need a new cell phone every few months just because a new one comes out.
Ewan McGregor
I think theatre reminds us what we're doing as actors, because every night and every matinee day, you have an audience telling you what's working and what's not. And that's very good for us as actors to hone our skills.
Ewan McGregor
Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this?
Ewan McGregor
I keep waiting to be invited to the hip hop party, I've never been. So if there's anyone out there who is having a hip hop party, I'd like to come.
Ewan McGregor
There are people who are younger than I who are more uptight than I am. It's not necessarily an age thing. I mean nobody is offering me 20-year old leads any more.
Ewan McGregor
From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.
Ewan McGregor
I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting.
Ewan McGregor
I believe that unless it's a scene where I'm alone, then of course I could do what I want but I think good acting is about what happens between people, not on your face and my face.
Ewan McGregor
I like to dance, but it's not my weekend activity. I'm not a clubber.
Ewan McGregor
I don't pay much attention to career or what other people think. I've always been quite arrogant.
Ewan McGregor
Ultimately, you have to not worry about people thinking you should have played him differently. You're the one playing the part so it has to be yours.
Ewan McGregor
When I moved to London, you could park your motorcycle in the pavement, on the sidewalk. We would stay here and just leave it and go about your business. But now something was sort of encroaching in London. There's cameras everywhere. You can't do anything. You're not allowed to be in a group.
Ewan McGregor
This middle-budget drama movies are just gone.
Ewan McGregor
If you're suddenly doing something you don't want to do for four years, just so you've got something to fall back on, by the time you come out you don't have that 16-year-old drive any more and you'll spend your life doing something you never wanted to do in the first place.
