More quotes by James McAvoy
I wanted to join the navy to get some perspective on the world and explore.
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
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
Passing my motorcycle theory test gave me a disproportionate feeling of greatness.
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 learned something from a string of failed relationships. You don't see a pattern quickly. You see it over time. I learned to stop jumping in at the first sign of attraction. As soon as you're attracted to someone, you go for it - whether or not it's a good idea. Basically, just going out and getting laid.
James McAvoy
I also really liked playing Mr. Tumnus in 'Narnia'. I got to play my favorite character in children's literature, which I loved. You don't get the chance to do that in other jobs.
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
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 really liked 'Starter For Ten' because I grew up watching 1980s teen films like 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'The Breakfast Club' and I've always wanted to play the underdog lead hero in a 1980s-inspired film.
James McAvoy
That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
James McAvoy
Our intellect, our awareness, and our consciousness is the most powerful form of life on this planet.
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
I think the most romantic thing you can do is just turn up. Turn up when it's difficult for you. Travel halfway around the world or just up the road. Whatever it is, just be there.
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
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
A cry-wanking scene is the struggle to live, in a single moment.
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
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
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.
