James McAvoy Quotes

Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration Picture Quote #1

The funny thing is, I’ve never really hurt myself in an action movie. I’ve done ‘Wanted,’ ‘X-Men,’ ‘Welcome To The Punch,’ even ‘Trance’ to a certain extent has little bits of action and stuff, but I’ve never really hurt myself at all - not even like a sprained ankle Picture Quote #1

There’s something about Michael J. Fox that I loved when he did all the 80s stuff. His way of performing all the physicality, which is why it’s so tragic now, but the way he used his body so much as well, I loved Picture Quote #1

Marriage is an ongoing thing, man. You continue to work at it. But it’s joyful. And joyous. I don’t care if people are living without a marriage certificate. It’s just about people, in some way, saying to each other, ‘I commit to you. I will help you in this life.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I like playing sport, and I like doing physical stuff. I like hiking and I like climbing and I like playing sport. I do a lot. But I don’t like the term ‘exercising.’ I feel like with sport, you’re playing games. But with exercise, you’re literally just trying to stop yourself from dying too young. It’s weird Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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!’ Picture Quote #1

Film sets are a strange place, but an exciting place. I do love my work; I really enjoy going to work. But if you just spend all your time on film sets or even on stage, you can become a Michael Jackson figure, living in your own little universe Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I love Christmas. I never used to. I didn’t hate it, but I could take it or leave it. But, as I got to the age of 25 or 26, Christmas became quite a big deal, and I love it now. I love the food, and I love sharing time with people Picture Quote #1

When I was 15 or 16 - I slept really well then. Now I sleep on a bed of anxiety-tipped nails Picture Quote #1

I’m 5 foot 7, and I’ve got pasty white skin. I don’t think I’m ugly, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not your classic lead man, Brad Pitt guy Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if anybody’s ever ready for another award season. It’s kind of like Christmas Picture Quote #1

I did ‘Narnia’ because it was a good opportunity and all that, but really? I wanted to play Mr. Tumnus because he’s my favourite children’s character. That was awesome Picture Quote #1

I always have a beard between jobs. I just let it grow until they pay me to shave it. People are quite surprised it’s ginger. Sometimes they ask me if dye my hair and I always say ‘Wow, no!’ I’m ‘trans-ginger.’ Picture Quote #1

I was talking to one of my aunties at Christmas and she said she didn’t think it was ever in my nature to go against the grain, that I was always a good boy. I think she was right - I did always want to be good Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We’re in a horrible, repugnant place now where kids are told it’s their right and due to be hugely famous. Not good at their job, not good at anything, just hugely famous. This is not sane. Little girls think they’ll be famous if they have vast breast implants and might as well die if they don’t Picture Quote #1

I wanted to join the navy to get some perspective on the world and explore Picture Quote #1

I’ve played a lot of very posh, sort of noble or aristocratic English people, which is nothing like what I am, so I feel that there is quite a lot distance there and have played a little bit far away from myself Picture Quote #1

I actually went to drama school at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, so I stayed in my home town the whole time. However, I see more of my friends now than I did then. It’s strange Picture Quote #1

I’ve never worked as hard as when I was at drama school. It’s the most professional environment I’ve ever been in Picture Quote #1

Next year, if no one gives me any work, that’s fine. I’m not going to do well anyway. I’m not an actor, I’m just exploiting this industry Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I like cooking, but I don’t think I could be a chef. Everyone from the ground up does terrible hours, whether you’ve just walked in off the street and you’ve got no experience, to whether you’re the head chef. You can work 14 or 15-hour days. It’s really, really intense Picture Quote #1
