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
Isn't Halle Berry the most beautiful woman? I have a film I'd like to be in her with. I mean, I'd like to be with her in.

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
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 certainly have no plans to leave London. It's a great town.
Ewan McGregor
My feeling about seeing the world is that its going to change you necessarily, just the very fact of being out there and meeting people from different cultures and different ways of life.
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
Actors don't like to read what they're supposed to do.
Ewan McGregor
I've played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I've always played guitars and drums and stuff.
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 think you know, to not open your mind to television is silly because there's so much good work happening on television.
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
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
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.
