"Ewan's talent will win out over everything. He's got a great future. He will survive Star Wars."- George Lucas, GQ Magazine May 1999
"An airport customs inspector once recognised me from Trainspotting and strip searched me looking for drugs"
"He's got that thing that Tom Hanks has. He's like the guy next door. He's got that ordinariness- that's his nature. He doesn't try to represent himself without spots, and I don't think he's thinking about that. It's instinct. There's something quite naughty about Ewan as well. Very naughty."
- Danny Boyle, Buzz Magazine 1997

"I’ve got a black woolen hat and it’s got PERVERT written across the front of it. It’s the name of the clothing label. And I was with my wife and my baby at the supermarket and I didn’t think. I just put my hat on Clara’s head, because it was cold. And the looks. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting death looks. And then I realized my 10-month old baby’s wearing a hat with the word PERVERT written on it and these people were like, ‘There’s Satan! There’s Satan out with his kid!’ And then I made a point of her wearing it everytime we went there."
