More quotes by Ewan McGregor
I've never worked with an acting coach, no.
Ewan McGregor
I never imagined it wouldn't work out for me. I had that absolute certainty in myself that has seen me through, I think, and my parents were absolutely behind me all the way.
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
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
Everything you do on set is directly related to your imagination when you read the script for the first time.
Ewan McGregor
Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you.
Ewan McGregor
I love acting and don't find it to be very hard. I recognize when I've nailed it, and I can be very proud of myself.
Ewan McGregor
I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something - that solitary existence.
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.
Ewan McGregor
I think rehearsal can be important if it's done in a way that works. Often, rehearsal can be a waste of time.
Ewan McGregor
UNICEF is successfully giving children and young people all over the world opportunities and hope. Just like the ones we met on the Long Way Down - protecting them from exploitation and giving them chances in life.
Ewan McGregor
I would tend to be drawn to independent cinema as a viewer, probably more than the big blockbuster.
Ewan McGregor
I left halfway through my third year to start Lipstick On Your Collar, which was the first thing I ever did.
Ewan McGregor
My heart aches completely, every hour, every day, and only when I'm with you does the pain go away.
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
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 like to dance, but it's not my weekend activity. I'm not a clubber.
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
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
You would never dream of going on to play a scene in front of an audience at least without having rehearsed it. But you do somehow in front of a camera.
