More quotes by Ewan McGregor
I don't pay much attention to career or what other people think. I've always been quite arrogant.
Ewan McGregor
I grew up in a very small town in Scotland, a little place called Crieff which is beautiful and it's at the foothills to the highlands. It's a very beautiful part of the world. It's a small, I suppose quite conservative place.
Ewan McGregor
When you take the R sound out of French accent, and you just replace it with an R, it sounds Mexican.
Ewan McGregor
Conservative's the last thing I am.
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
I like to dance, but it's not my weekend activity. I'm not a clubber.
Ewan McGregor
Once you've agreed the script, you must be willing to go as far as it needs to go on set.
Ewan McGregor
I don't like being told that's where you, you know, if you walk on set and somebody was okay, you're here and you're going to walk over there on this line. And my reaction is always how do you know? How do you know that's what I'm going to do? How do any of us know?
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
It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge, and I'll always give him my trust.
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
If I'm playing music in front of people, I'll lose days to nerves like really wasted days of just like being terrified. And then when I get out there, generally speaking, I enjoy it very much. But it seems to be I have to accept the fact that that's just part of the deal for me. And I can't just run on and do it.
Ewan McGregor
I'm sometimes asked 'Can you lose the accent?'and I say 'No, but I can put on another one'.
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
UNICEF is doing amazing things here. They're helping these groups of kids to be mine aware, and using drama and workshops to teach children in all of the schools in the area to be aware of mines and what to do if they find one, and if somebody's hurt, not to rush in - all of the essential things that kids need to know.
Ewan McGregor
There is some really good crack when I come back here. This is where I learned to swear.
Ewan McGregor
For the actors, there's something very important about that first showing of the scene to the crew, becomes like a little performance.
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
I think if you're going on thinking oh, I can do this with my eyes shut, then it's probably not the right thing to be doing, you know.
Ewan McGregor
My feeling about seeing the world is that its going to change you necessarily, just the very fact of being out there and meeting people from different cultures and different ways of life.
Ewan McGregor
