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.

More quotes by 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 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 am a nerd, but I don't dive head-first into any fiefdom of nerdiness, except for maybe 'Star Trek.'
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
That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
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
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
[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 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
Our intellect, our awareness, and our consciousness is the most powerful form of life on this planet.
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 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
A cry-wanking scene is the struggle to live, in a single moment.
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
I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man's action franchise like Bourne.
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
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'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
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'd like to have stayed in the Scouts beyond the age of 12.
