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.

More quotes by 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
I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man's action franchise like Bourne.
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
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'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
Passing my motorcycle theory test gave me a disproportionate feeling of greatness.
James McAvoy
I don't think I'm ever going to get to the point where people run across a freeway to take a picture of me. I really don't see it getting to that level of hysteria unless I have an affair with the Queen of Sweden or something like that.
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'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 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
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 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'd like to have stayed in the Scouts beyond the age of 12.
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 play football once or twice a week. I eat pretty healthy. I'm in fairly good shape most of the time.
James McAvoy
The minute you start to strategize too much, the more you start to think you're in control of your own fate. And you're not, really.
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
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
When I was 15 or 16 - I slept really well then. Now I sleep on a bed of anxiety-tipped nails.
James McAvoy
That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
