More quotes by Ewan McGregor
I'm not really attracted to action sequences, because my experience is that it's quite a slow process to shoot them, and often we're not involved as actors.
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 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
It is always a nice feeling when you are challenged by a scene and you walk out of trailer and you go on set going I don't know. And then half an hour later you're walking back.
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
If you want to produce really horrible, obnoxious kids, say yes to them all the time.
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've played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I've always played guitars and drums and stuff.
Ewan McGregor
This middle-budget drama movies are just gone.
Ewan McGregor
It's important, that spirit of youth, and when you're 16 that can get you kickstarted.
Ewan McGregor
It's just fantastic to go out and meet people in the world and get to really remote places.
Ewan McGregor
No, I'm putting it away, trying to buy a house for my family. The goal is to use the money to move into a big house, so my daughter can have a garden.
Ewan McGregor
I trained in the theatre and I love the theatre. I get such a thrill seeing anything in the theatre.
Ewan McGregor
I was with a friend of mine recently who was dying and while he was lying there with his family around his bed, I just knew that was it, that was the best you can hope for in life - to have your family and the people who love you around you at the end.
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 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
A tent, a roll mat, a little bit of food, a bit of petrol in your tank and a vague idea of where you're going and that's all you need.
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
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 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
