ADD QUOTES
- Ewan McGregor (on acting): 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.

- Ewan McGregor: I've found ways to cheat the ageing process. I shave my chest because having it hairy makes me look older.

- (revealing that when he's home in Scotland, people can't resist having a go at him) Ewan McGregor: Why do they feel the need to tell me, 'That film was sh*t'. It happens quite a lot. I was with my mum and daughter when this guy walks over to say, 'You're not as good as Alec Guinness' (Obi Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars films before Ewan). I felt really pissed off.
