1、I like playing a variety of characters. I feel like I've been able to play different kinds of characters - I've done a lot of period pieces - but I've never had to play the same type of character too much. ----James McAvoy

　　2、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.距离不是无法和某人维持亲密关系的好借口。维持关系或是半途而废，都是由决心决定的。决心才是一段关系能够维持下去的真正原因。 ----James McAvoy

　　3、For me, Charles Xavier is a monk. He's like a selfless, egoless almost sexless force for the betterment of humanity and mortality.我认为，查尔斯泽维尔（X教授）是一个修道士。他是致力于发扬人性的光辉并减少死亡的一个无私的、博爱的、没有性欲的人。 ----James McAvoy

　　6、I've done enough for a while and people get fed up of seeing you, but apart from that, although I'm young, I need a bit of rest. You could say I have become a house husband. It's not a new man thing, it's just largely a boring man who doesn't mind staying in the house thing. ----James McAvoy

　　7、One of the weird things about Hollywood is we're all imposters; we're all just glammed up.好莱坞其中一个奇怪的事是我们都是冒名顶替的人，我们还都具有迷人的外表 ----James McAvoy

　　8、Filmmaking is a miracle of collaboration. ----James McAvoy

　　9、I generally get challenged; I haven't been typecast, which is really, really, nice. It's not something that every actor gets, really. It's luxury. Most actors are capable of it, but they aren't afforded the opportunity to express their variety. ----James McAvoy

　　10、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. ----James McAvoy

　　14、I don't know why I get cast in a lot of period pieces. Stephen Fry told me that I had a face for period, that I look like someone from 1920.我不知道为什么我得到了很多年代戏的角色。斯蒂芬·弗雷（《光彩年华》导演）说我长了一张年代戏的脸，我看起来像是19世纪20年代的人。 ----James McAvoy

　　15、I try to keep my life low key, and I don't like going to parties unless they're thrown by a friend of mine, or they're to do with a project I'm in, or it's because I've been nominated for an award.我努力让自己的生活保持低调。我不喜欢参加聚会，除非是我的朋友举办的，或是和我参与的电影电视有关，要不就是我被某个奖项提名了。 ----James McAvoy

　　16、I wanted to be a doctor at one point and I also wanted to be a pilot. I think if you grow up in a dodgy area, reality often beats down those ambitions as you get older. But with me that never really happened.我曾想做一名医生，我还想过成为飞行员。我觉得如果你在困难的环境中长大，随着年龄的增长，现实总会把那些梦想打倒。但对我来说，这样的事不曾有过。 ----James McAvoy

　　17、I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.我做我自己感到很骄傲。我很喜欢现在的自己。 ----James McAvoy

　　22、Nobody can be whatever they want to be. No kid can do whatever they want to do. It's a total lie. But they have the right to try and do whatever they want to do. That's their right, to aim to do whatever they want to do.没有人可以成为他想成为的任何人。没有哪个小孩可以做他想做的任何事。那些话都是骗人的。但人们有权利尝试去做他们想做任何的事。他们的权利是怀有梦想。 ----James McAvoy

　　23、A story about my life would be utterly dull.关于我的生活的故事一定会非常无聊。 ----James McAvoy

　　24、Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.基本上来说，我扮演每个角色时候的表演都完全基于内心冲突。我喜欢这么做，因为我觉得能显示出人性。 ----James McAvoy

So yeah, my career has gone so much farther than I ever suspected it would, and as such I feel lucky for everything I get. I feel thankful and grateful.当我开始演戏的时候，我想如果我一年能得到一到两个角色，就很幸运了。所以，是的，我的事业比我想象过的顺利太多，因此我对所得到的一切都感到幸运。我心怀感恩。 ----James McAvoy

And, more importantly, I didn't want to sacrifice the ladies!我曾很认真地考虑过当一个传教士。我想要到世界各地旅行。16岁的时候，我意识到我想做传教士的原因都很自私。而且，更重要的是，我不想牺牲掉女孩子带来的快乐！ ----James McAvoy

　　28、I remember that it was never that difficult for me to get a director to look up and pay attention to me. Mind you, I don't know if that's necessarily charm. But I've played roles where my character has to be charming and I've found it quite easy to do. I think some of it is in my bones, but some of it is more deliberate. ----James McAvoy

　　29、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. ----James McAvoy

　　30、I don't know why we're not interested in seeing good people. I think we like seeing good people, but only if bad things happen to them. Which is weird, isn't it?我不知道为什么我们不对看见好人感兴趣。我认为我们只在坏事发生在好人的身上才会乐意看到他们。这很奇怪，不是么？ ----James McAvoy
