Conservative's the last thing I am.

It's important, that spirit of youth, and when you're 16 that can get you kickstarted.

Ultimately, you have to not worry about people thinking you should have played him differently. You're the one playing the part so it has to be yours.

I`ve got a black woolen hat and it`s got Pervert written across the front of it. It`s the name of the clothing label. And I was with my wife and my baby at the supermarket and I didn`t think. I just put my hat on Clara`s head, because it was cold. And the looks. I couldn`t figure out why I was getting death looks. And then I realized my 10-month old baby`s wearing a hat with the word Pervert written on it and these people were like, `There`s Satan! There`s Satan out with his kid!` And then I made a point of her wearing it every time we went there.

I started watching golf for the first time yesterday. I`m really worried about myself. I was actually enjoying it.
Ewan McGregor -
You know, an audition usually is you come in and read the scene and if you're lucky, you get to read it twice.

The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.

I certainly have no plans to leave London. It's a great town.

People are incredibly rude about it sometimes. Like "What? You're married?" Strange reaction to have. Proves what people's ideas about marriage are. "We're having a baby." "What?" As if it's the end of the world. Of course, it's the start of a brilliant world.
Ewan McGregor -
...as an actor there`s nothing better than a great moody moment to play with nothing to say. It`s so much easier to do because you can really get inside your head.

I've been waiting nearly twenty years to have my own light saber. Nothing's cooler than being a Jedi Knight.

I am so honoured to have been given this opportunity to become an Ambassador. It's a new and different venture for me and one that I know will widen my wider perspective on life. I'm in a position to use the recognition from my work to do something really positive for children.
Ewan McGregor -
I had extra thick light sabers because mine kept getting bent. I'd be halfway through a fight and it would be like 'Oops, sorry! Mine's bent again!
Ewan McGregor -
I believe that unless it's a scene where I'm alone, then of course I could do what I want but I think good acting is about what happens between people, not on your face and my face.

I don't like being told that's where you, you know, if you walk on set and somebody was "okay, you're here and you're going to walk over there on this line." And my reaction is always how do you know? How do you know that's what I'm going to do? How do any of us know?
Ewan McGregor -
I love film people and actors and I am in the right world because I am one of those people.
Ewan McGregor -
I left halfway through my third year to start Lipstick On Your Collar, which was the first thing I ever did.

I've played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I've always played guitars and drums and stuff.
Ewan McGregor -
I'm always interested in playing different people, in different situationsIt doesn't matter to me whether someone is in love with a man or a woman. I find the idea of love and romance interesting. I'm a sucker for it. I like playing someone who's falling in love because I like the sensation of it. People do extraordinary things when they're falling in love.
Ewan McGregor -
It's impossible to put your finger on what that is exactly other than protecting the environment that the actors get to find the scenes and build the scenes and invest in them. I think that's key and that's what I've learned from all the great directors I've worked with.

You would never dream of going on to play a scene in front of an audience at least without having rehearsed it. But you do somehow in front of a camera.
Ewan McGregor -
I'm not really a blockbuster, I'm not a member of that audience really.

Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you.
Ewan McGregor -
I remember in Shallow Grave I remember a few times when we'd only have to do one take. But when you did have to do more than one, you'd build on the one you'd done.
