More quotes by James McAvoy
That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
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 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
Our intellect, our awareness, and our consciousness is the most powerful form of life on this planet.
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
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
Because technically actors are just public servants really. They just tell stories because people need to be told stories. That's all it is. And yet we get treated as though we're important.
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
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
At the heart of every really good Christmas movie is the threat, I suppose, to Christmas. Something is wrong with Christmas, in all of these movies. In 'The Polar Express,' there's a kid that doesn't really believe, and that's the threat to Christmas. In 'Santa Claus: The Movie,' jealousy and greed are threatening to overrun his Christmas.
James McAvoy
I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.
James McAvoy
I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man's action franchise like Bourne.
James McAvoy
I don't know if anybody's ever ready for another award season. It's kind of like Christmas.
James McAvoy
I'd like to have stayed in the Scouts beyond the age of 12.
James McAvoy
I don't really... go to 'the opening of an envelope.' I don't really turn up to all the events, you know what I mean? If I'm involved, I'll go, and if there's a good friend who needs support, I'll go, but otherwise... I don't go. I'm probably just a bit like my grandparents I like staying in.
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 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 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
I am a nerd, but I don't dive head-first into any fiefdom of nerdiness, except for maybe 'Star Trek.'
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.
