More quotes by Ewan McGregor
I am so honoured to have been given this opportunity to become an Ambassador. It's a new and different venture for me and one that I know will widen my wider perspective on life. I'm in a position to use the recognition from my work to do something really positive for children

Everything you do on set is directly related to your imagination when you read the script for the first time.
Ewan McGregor
It's impossible to put your finger on what that is exactly other than protecting the environment that the actors get to find the scenes and build the scenes and invest in them. I think that's key and that's what I've learned from all the great directors I've worked with.
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.
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
For the actors, there's something very important about that first showing of the scene to the crew, becomes like a little performance.

I've sort of done a play every four or five years I guess if I look back in my career. And I think that's good.
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
Conservative's the last thing I am.
Ewan McGregor
Success is tricky to deal with, both professionally and in your personal life.
Ewan McGregor
This middle-budget drama movies are just gone.
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
I'm not really a blockbuster, I'm not a member of that audience really.
Ewan McGregor
I fight cynicism. It`s too easy. It`s really boring. It`s much harder to be positive and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren`t as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented.
Ewan McGregor
I don't do things lightly, I don't take a job then just phone it in, I've never done that.
Ewan McGregor
I played music all through school and I kind of performed that way.
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
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
