More quotes by 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 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
Shakespeare's stories are still very strong. He structured fantastic stories about things that were fundamental to the human being and psyche.
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'd like to have stayed in the Scouts beyond the age of 12.
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
I don't know if anybody's ever ready for another award season. It's kind of like Christmas.
James McAvoy
Fear is really powerful it's really useful to me.

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 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
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'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
Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money.
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 wanted to join the navy to get some perspective on the world and explore.
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
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 am a nerd, but I don't dive head-first into any fiefdom of nerdiness, except for maybe 'Star Trek.'
