As fathers, we know what a force for life children can be. They represent all of our futures.

Once you've agreed the script, you must be willing to go as far as it needs to go on set.

I think if you're going on thinking oh, I can do this with my eyes shut, then it's probably not the right thing to be doing, you know.
Ewan McGregor -
I think you know, to not open your mind to television is silly because there's so much good work happening on television.
Ewan McGregor -
I don't do things lightly, I don't take a job then just phone it in, I've never done that.
Ewan McGregor -
No, no I'm not, no, but I just think... when people are naked it tells you a lot about their relationships.
Ewan McGregor -
For the actors, there's something very important about that first showing of the scene to the crew, becomes like a little performance.
Ewan McGregor -
There's something that happens where you go, if you're lucky, goodness me, from film to another film to another film. And you can sort of feel that if you step off that treadmill, it might all go horribly wrong and you might never be employed again, you know. And I suddenly thought that that's not necessarily the case. And I also thought we make drama as actors about people in the world and that if you are on that treadmill, you start making films about other films.

When you take the R sound out of French accent, and you just replace it with an R, it sounds Mexican.
Ewan McGregor -
When you've got a date on your calendar saying that you will be putting this in front of people in four weeks, that will get your nerves good, yeah.
Ewan McGregor -
I love romance. It goes back to the films I watched as a kid.
Ewan McGregor -
From there I did a one year theatre acting course in Fife, and then three years of drama school in London.
Ewan McGregor -
I'm not really attracted to action sequences, because my experience is that it's quite a slow process to shoot them, and often we're not involved as actors.
Ewan McGregor -
I don't pay much attention to career or what other people think. I've always been quite arrogant.
Ewan McGregor
-
I fight cynicism. It`s too easy. It`s really boring. It`s much harder to be positive and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren`t as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented.
Ewan McGregor -
I'm sent a script. I read the script. If I love it, I want to do it. And that's it I don't care who's in it, how much money is behind it, really to an extent who's directing it.
Ewan McGregor -
A lot of parents tell their children that if they want to be an actor, that's fine, but they should do something else first, so they've got something to fall back on. It doesn't work like that, as far as I'm concerned.
Ewan McGregor -
I don't want to make decisions about what I'm going to do before I'm doing it because I base my acting off my partner and off the other people in the scene.
Ewan McGregor -
The script, I always believe, is the foundation of everything.
Ewan McGregor -
This middle-budget drama movies are just gone.

I'm a father of four girls and I know very much about the relationship between a father and his daughters.
Ewan McGregor -
Seasons may change winter to spring, but I love you until the end of time Come what may, come what may, I will love you until my dying day Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace Suddenly my life doesn’t seem such a waste, it all revolves around you. And there’s no mountain too high no river too wide Sing out this song and I’ll be there by your side Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide But I love you until the end of time.
Ewan McGregor -
I'm just into making quality stuff if I can, with interesting people and good scripts. But it's very important that it's about something and that it says something. Otherwise, I don't know what the point is, really.
Ewan McGregor -
I want to wear skinny jeans when I'm in my 70s. Why not? Who cares?
