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.
From Ewan McGregor
I'm not a guy who takes films for strong political messages.
No, no I'm not, no, but I just think... when people are naked it tells you a lot about their relationships.
I'm sure it's not great fun for them, or for any parent, when their child says they want to be an actor, 'cos it's quite an uncertain business and it can be terribly hard for most actors.
Once you've agreed the script, you must be willing to go as far as it needs to go on set.
I've done nudity in lots of things before. It's something that's never particularly bothered me.
So, no, I'm not trying to crack into Hollywood, although I'll make films there if they're good scripts.
It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge, and I'll always give him my trust.
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.
Mainly I was able to perform with music - I played the French horn, I would sing, and I was a drummer in the pipe band. So I think it was a way to show off.
