I always have a beard between jobs. I just let it grow until they pay me to shave it. People are quite surprised it's ginger. Sometimes they ask me if dye my hair and I always say 'Wow, no!' I'm 'trans-ginger.'

More quotes by 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 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
If you don't have the good fortune to work a lot then you take any job you get offered, whether it's a good job, fun job, a bad job, horrible job, whatever, you just take what you need to take. But I'm lucky in that - at the moment anyway and hopefully forever, but who knows - I get the chance to pick jobs for the kick of it and the fun.
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
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
It's quite liberating to have a director stand beside the camera and say: Do this now, and do that now... It's also a bit sordid but it liberates an actor, I think.
James McAvoy
I considered becoming a priest very seriously. I wanted to travel the world. By the time I turned 16, I realized I was only in it for selfish reasons. And, more importantly, I didn't want to sacrifice the ladies!
James McAvoy
I'd like to have stayed in the Scouts beyond the age of 12.
James McAvoy
I wanted to join the navy to get some perspective on the world and explore.
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
Playing somebody who's obsessed. Playing somebody who is transgressing, and who is really crossing moral lines and ethical lines. That's always interesting.
James McAvoy
I've done enough for a while and people get fed up of seeing you, but apart from that, although I'm young, I need a bit of rest. You could say I have become a house husband. It's not a new man thing, it's just largely a boring man who doesn't mind staying in the house thing.
James McAvoy
Shakespeare's stories are still very strong. He structured fantastic stories about things that were fundamental to the human being and psyche.
James McAvoy
As an actor sometimes you can be a bit emotional and forceful, and that's not always the way to be.
James McAvoy
When I was 15 or 16 - I slept really well then. Now I sleep on a bed of anxiety-tipped nails.
James McAvoy
That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
James McAvoy
I kind of embarked on a fruitless search to find information about my character, Frederick Aiken. And it was fruitless, unfortunately, because there's so little about him.
James McAvoy
[Macbeth] is historically set in a place depicted by Shakespeare as brutal and violent, incredibly superstitious, and that's something that I do believe is Scottish.
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.
James McAvoy
I am a nerd, but I don't dive head-first into any fiefdom of nerdiness, except for maybe 'Star Trek.'
