People come up to me and they're usually nice, but as it goes on you realise that some people aren't nice. Some people are not nice at all.

More quotes by James McAvoy
Kids audience is a brilliant audience. If you've got an audience of adults standing up and clapping, or you've got an audience of kids standing up and clapping, I know which one I'd choose.
James McAvoy
I don't mind playing somebody who's not likable, or makes the audience feel slightly conflicted.
James McAvoy
I actually went to drama school at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama in Glasgow, so I stayed in my home town the whole time. However, I see more of my friends now than I did then. It's strange.
James McAvoy
Passing my motorcycle theory test gave me a disproportionate feeling of greatness.
James McAvoy
Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money.
James McAvoy
In a love scene that's really advantageous because you don't have that horrible moment of: We don't really know what we're supposed to be doing, we just know we're supposed to be snogging and then shagging. Then the director shouts action and it's like: Should I feel her boobs? I don't want to feel her boobs!
James McAvoy
I'm probably more dangerous in a car than I am on a motorbike on a bike I'm very mindful of the fact that if you make a mistake you're dead.
James McAvoy
I don't think I'm ever going to get to the point where people run across a freeway to take a picture of me. I really don't see it getting to that level of hysteria unless I have an affair with the Queen of Sweden or something like that.
James McAvoy
Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.
James McAvoy
I've seen beautiful actresses get spat at or just someone trying to get a rise out of them so they can get an extra hundred bucks for a photo. It's really rough.
James McAvoy
Fear is really powerful it's really useful to me.
James McAvoy
I don't know if anybody's ever ready for another award season. It's kind of like Christmas.
James McAvoy
I think my recognizability ebbs and flows. I don't lead a particularly celebrity lifestyle or anything like that. I don't go to showbiz parties or red-carpet events, so it all depends on whether I've got a film out. I've not been very visible in the last year or so and as a result hardly anyone stops me in the street.
James McAvoy
I don't want to be all worthy about it, but I don't do red carpets, I don't do events and I don't accept freebies that much.
James McAvoy
I do find it strange, doing magazine shoots. Photographers always go, 'Why don't you like to have your picture taken? That's what you do for a living anyway. Just pretend you're acting. It's the same thing!'
James McAvoy
At the heart of every really good Christmas movie is the threat, I suppose, to Christmas. Something is wrong with Christmas, in all of these movies. In 'The Polar Express,' there's a kid that doesn't really believe, and that's the threat to Christmas. In 'Santa Claus: The Movie,' jealousy and greed are threatening to overrun his Christmas.
James McAvoy
I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.
James McAvoy
If a scene is three pages long, quite often people break it up and do a page, say 'cut' then move on to the next bit, they do it in cuts. I don't really like doing that I like to go through it all in one organic run, then give notes afterward. A little bit more like theater.
James McAvoy
I love going to art galleries. The Tate Modern is one of my favourite things to do. But I don't invest in the history of it and I don't read up on it. I am a guy who would buy a print rather than buy an original.
James McAvoy
I'm 5 foot 7, and I've got pasty white skin. I don't think I'm ugly, don't get me wrong, but I'm not your classic lead man, Brad Pitt guy.
