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
A cry-wanking scene is the struggle to live, in a single moment.
James McAvoy
Our intellect, our awareness, and our consciousness is the most powerful form of life on this planet.
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'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 was brought up by my grandparents. So people go, oh, what was that like? That must have been hard. And you go: No, it wasn't.' It was just completely actually normal because the new norm seems to be whatever you make of it, doesn't it?
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
No movie has ever got enough time. It doesn't matter how much money you've got, and it doesn't matter how much money you've not got. You never finish on time. You're always up against it and you're always working up until the end.
James McAvoy
I don't know why I get cast in a lot of period pieces. Stephen Fry told me that I had a face for period, that I look like someone from 1920.
James McAvoy
I don't know if anybody's ever ready for another award season. It's kind of like Christmas.
James McAvoy
I don't mind playing somebody who's not likable, or makes the audience feel slightly conflicted.
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 am a nerd, but I don't dive head-first into any fiefdom of nerdiness, except for maybe 'Star Trek.'
James McAvoy
I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.
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
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
Distance is a bad excuse for not having a good relationship with somebody. It's the determination to keep it going or let it fall by the wayside that's the real reason that the relationships continue.
James McAvoy
The better the script is the more you can commit, but you can only really commit with full confidence when you know the material is as strong as your level of commitment to it and it frees you up.
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
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
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.
James McAvoy
