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.

This middle-budget drama movies are just gone.
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
In far Eastern Russia, there's just some towns that time has forgotten. I guess they used to maybe be industrial or something that are now there's just lots of rusty hulks of buildings and a lot of people wandering around, a lot of alcoholism and violence because people have got nothing to do and no work. Yet people were very generous.
Ewan McGregor
The script, I always believe, is the foundation of everything.
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.

I don't think having separate bathrooms is a key to a successful marriage, if you love one another.
Ewan McGregor
If you want to produce really horrible, obnoxious kids, say yes to them all the time.

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
Actors don't like to read what they're supposed to do.
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
I've been waiting nearly twenty years to have my own light saber. Nothing's cooler than being a Jedi Knight.
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
When you take the R sound out of French accent, and you just replace it with an R, it sounds Mexican.
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 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
Ewan McGregor
I've played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I've always played guitars and drums and stuff.
Ewan McGregor
Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you.
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 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
