"Would I want to be in a film about September 11? Sure, why not? If it was a cracking script I'd be there."

"It shouldn't be a moral question. We should be able to make films about anything that happens and September 11 happened."

"It is the same as with this film. It was our task to represent the people who fought and died in Somalia to a level that would make them proud." - 11:35 Friday 21st December 2001

Quote: "Women are always being asked to get their kit off, so it's only fair that I get mine out. So tell your readers I'm making a feminist stance by shaking my willy around as much as possible. I'M DOING IT FOR THE SISTERS!!"

"We cooked for each other at nights . . . drank fine wines in the garden. It felt like absolutely what we wanted to do. That's very unusual, when you have a dream, to actually see it totally realised, which our marriage was. It was perfect. " (on his marriage in France to wife Eve Mavrakis in July, 1995). -awe!

Neon, October 1997 46-54 "I musn't bash Will Smith any more. I musn't bash Will Smith any more." (Ewan's mantra [muttered under breath] after questioning the soundness of Men in Black).

"You don't need to worry , babe/I'm not in any pain/but just the thing that stops me going mad/is me slowly going insane" (Lyrics to a song Ewan used to sing and write while at drama school in London).

"It is sexy, because it represents danger, and a life that most of us wouldn't lead. People either decided to be frightened of things we don't know about, or excited by them. So on that level it makes sense that it's an attractive look. And I'm wet. It's a wet t-shirt!! So that's good.

We all like a wet t-shirt, don't we?" (On the popularity of the Trainspotting shirt with Ewan, hands hooked under armpits, wet and shivering). -Ha Ha!!

A Conversation: According to Cosmopolitan he is the third sexiest man in the world. EWAN: But what does that mean? ME [Chris Heath, interviewer] It means that if you were on a desert island with George Clooney Keanu Reeves and two women, you'd be on your own. EWAN: (Hoots) Aye. I'd be in the bushes, having a wank. "George! Just leave me a wee bit!" -AHHHH!!! ha ha ha ha

"F---inf Hell. I'm drunk so often. They're not stories any more, it's just a state of mind for me. I'm just usually drunk. Someone sent me an interview for Brassed Off, and it was on CNN, and I'm sitting in a bar with this guy, and I'm going : 'Bleyearggh. And why is everyone worried about a penis in a movie? I like it!' It's no big story anymore with me. I've yet to be found in a gutter somewhere. I always get away with it somehow."

"I've been waiting twenty years to have my own light saber. Nothing's cooler than being a Jedi Knight." Ewan on his upcoming role as Obi Wan Kenobi, in the three Star Wars prequels.

"I'm just looking for that moment to drop my Jedi knickers and pull out my real light saber." On his frequent nudity on film. Here -Whoa!!!!!!

"No fuckin' worries there, darling." (Ewan's response to a reporter if he was worried about "shrinkage" during the making of The Pillow Book).
