More quotes by 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 trained in the theatre and I love the theatre. I get such a thrill seeing anything in the theatre.
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
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
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've never worked with an acting coach, no.
Ewan McGregor
I certainly have no plans to leave London. It's a great town.
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
Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you.
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
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
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 think rehearsal can be important if it's done in a way that works. Often, rehearsal can be a waste of time.
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 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
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 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 got married because I fell in love with this woman. I had a baby with her because we wanted to have children. But that's not because of some philosophical ideal at all, no.
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
I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting.
