I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.

From James McAvoy

Every time I do a movie, especially an animated movie, I just seem to scream and shout and hyperventilate for money.

From James McAvoy

I've cried a lot because of women. I cry a lot, as a person.

From James McAvoy

I've spent a long time giving people the benefit of the doubt, and I'm tired of it.

From James McAvoy

Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration.

From James McAvoy

If a scene is three pages long, quite often people break it up and do a page, say 'cut' then move on to the next bit, they do it in cuts. I don't really like doing that; I like to go through it all in one organic run, then give notes afterward. A little bit more like theater.

From James McAvoy

Distance is a bad excuse for not having a good relationship with somebody. It's the determination to keep it going or let it fall by the wayside; that's the real reason that the relationships continue.

From James McAvoy

Shakespeare's stories are still very strong. He structured fantastic stories about things that were fundamental to the human being and psyche.

From James McAvoy

I kind of embarked on a fruitless search to find information about my character, Frederick Aiken. And it was fruitless, unfortunately, because there's so little about him.

From James McAvoy

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.
