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.
From Ewan McGregor
It's important, that spirit of youth, and when you're 16 that can get you kickstarted.
Then I left school at 16 and worked in Perth Repertory Theatre, which was quite nearby where I lived. And I worked there for about six or seven months, as part of the stage crew.
I left it for seven years before going back on stage. I know now not to leave it so long.
I've never been one who agonizes over my work.
I love acting and don't find it to be very hard. I recognize when I've nailed it, and I can be very proud of myself.
I was born in '71, so I remember bits of glam rock on 'Top of the Pops' toward the late '70s, but I had no idea what kind of world it was. I didn't like the music, either.
Producing good stuff can be quite tough, and it involves a lot of frustration, but I always like things to be jolly and happy, and I forget that's actually not the point at the end of the day.
I've never found acting that difficult.
The script, I always believe, is the foundation of everything. And if you don't connect to that foundation, if you don't believe in that and feel that you wanna spend three, four months of your life exploring it, then all of the other elements are secondary.
