More quotes by 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
People are incredibly rude about it sometimes. Like What? You're married? Strange reaction to have. Proves what people's ideas about marriage are. We're having a baby. What? As if it's the end of the world. Of course, it's the start of a brilliant world.
Ewan McGregor
The beautiful thing about it is that no two directors or actors work the same way. You also learn not to be afraid of discussion and conflict.
Ewan McGregor
Conservative's the last thing I am.
Ewan McGregor
I would encourage you as a screenwriter to trust your story and don't make notes for the actors or don't make notes for the reader.
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 don't do things lightly, I don't take a job then just phone it in, I've never done that.
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
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
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 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 been waiting nearly twenty years to have my own light saber. Nothing's cooler than being a Jedi Knight.
Ewan McGregor
I've played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I've always played guitars and drums and stuff.
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
I love music and I always seem to have a tune in my head.
Ewan McGregor
I don't pay much attention to career or what other people think. I've always been quite arrogant.
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
I'm sometimes asked 'Can you lose the accent?'and I say 'No, but I can put on another one'.
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
My heart aches completely, every hour, every day, and only when I'm with you does the pain go away.
Ewan McGregor
