Thanks for the feedback. Some of your ideas were really great, though I'm not sure how to implement them. I'll work on it. In the meantime, I have something new for you. Not new quotes but maybe a new way to look at them.

Check out the spotlight to learn more.

Trinny Woodall (stylist, co-host BBC's What Not to Wear)
(on Ewan's fashion sense)
I'm happy with Ewan's look - I'm happy with the whole of him. The Daily Record, September 26 2002 (thanks xcbug)

Susannah Constantine (stylist, co-host BBC's What Not to Wear)
(on Ewan's fashion sense)
I saw him in a shop in London and he looked just fantastic. He was wearing a biker jacket, a white T- shirt and a very well-cut pair of jeans. He looked understated and doesn't try to stand out with the way he dresses, but my God, he is gorgeous. The Daily Record, September 26 2002 (thanks xcbug)

No new quotes just me asking for feedback. I received three interesting e-mails from three different people in the span of just a few days. Each one essentially said that they found the site confusing, which honestly surprised me. I've made some small changes, like adding explanation at the top of some pages, but I'm not sure if that's enough. I would be interested if you lovely people could let me know what works or doesn't for you on this site. I don't promise I'll act on your comments but I'd love to hear them. Of course, if you have any quotes, I'd love those too!

Oh, yeah...added Josie's wonderful site (mad about Ewan), to the "links" box on the right. If you haven't already visited those classic Ewan sites pop on over (though I can't imagine a Ewan fan who doesn't already have them bookmarked).

Daniella Nardini (actor)
(on Ewan's attendance at the Scottish People's Film Awards)
I think it's lovely for someone like Ewan McGregor who's out in Hollywood still has enough time to come here tonight - I'm sure he's very busy and making far too much money. Scotland Today, September 23 2002 (thanks Josie at Mad About Ewan)

Martin Compston (actor)
(on meeting Ewan at the Scottish People's Film Awards where they both received prizes)
Top man - Legend. Moulin Rouge, Nicole Kidman, Trainspotting,...the man's an absolute legend. He told me a bit of advice - don't sleep with the director. Scotland Today, September 23 2002 (thanks Josie at Mad About Ewan)

Larry King (interviewer) and Heidi Fleiss (former hollywood madam)
(discussing her boyfriend - actor Tom Sizemore's - role in Black Hawk Down)
FLEISS: When he called from Morocco, it sounds like he had a strong, strong camaraderie with all the men down there. It sounded like they were having -- I think him and Ewan McGregor developed a good friendship.
KING: He's a great guy.
FLEISS: Oh, Tom speaks the world of him.
KING: Great guy.

Steven Gaydos (executive editor Variety)
(announcing the choice for Variety's UK Personality Award at the British Independent Film Awards)
No major U.K. star has toiled as actively in independent films as Ewan McGregor. It's our great pleasure to honor and celebrate Ewan's career at the BIFA Awards and it is also extremely meaningful for Variety to make a contribution in his name to Ewan's most special charity, Rachel House, Scotland's first children's hospice. Variety, September 19 2002

Margaret Cho (comedienne)
(when asked to name an actor whose style she admired)
Ewan Mcgregor, who's a male bombshell. When I was in Toronto, my friends took me to an all-nude male strip club and I got a lap dance from this guy who looks so much like Ewan McGregor. Ewan is Gorgeous, just so nasty, and his sexuality is so fluid on-screen. Movieline, September 2002 (thanks SugarBear)

Ethan Hawke (actor)
I mean, Jude Law is one of my favourite actors and I love Ewan McGregor, too, but it does amaze me that American directors think they're soooo wonderful that none of us Yanks can compete. Oh, and I tell you what really bugs me is when they get English actors to put on American accents. Oh yeah! Evening Standard, September 12 2002

Denis Lawson (actor, director, Ewan's uncle)
(on asking Ewan to star in the short film Solid Geometry)
I thought, what if I don’t ask him to do this and he sits down and watches it and says: ‘Why the hell didn’t you ask me?’ (But) I was apprehensive, I don’t like Ewan to be involved in something like this because he feels obliged. I really would hate that. My personal relationship with him is too valuable. The Sunday Times, September 8 2002 (thanks to Sessan who found it at Josie's site: Mad about Ewan)

(on directing Ewan's sex scene in Solid Geometry)
There was a lot of shouting from the bed, ‘Uncle Denis, what now?’ The Sunday Times, September 8 2002 (thanks to Sessan and Josie)

(on seeing Ewan in a musical recital in high school)
They had this little competition where everybody played solos. There was an air of concentration that he had. And I thought then that he somehow understood this thing of drawing an audience in. The Sunday Times, September 8 2002 (thanks to Sessan and Josie)

(describing how seeing Ewan in a student production of As You Like it convinced him Ewan would make it as an actor)
I didn’t know he was going to do it quite so fast, but he had incredible charisma. The Sunday Times, September 8 2002 (thanks to Sessan and Josie)

Ruth Millar (actor Solid Geometry – Maisie)
I was nervous at the thought of working with Ewan. After all, he's a great big Hollywood movie star. But when I met him, he just doesn't come across like that. He's humble, down to earth and really funny. Sunday Mail, September 1 2002 (thanks xcbug)

When I first got the script, my agent called and told me you'll be reading with Denis Lawson and Ewan McGregor tomorrow morning. I didn't get much sleep that night. When I met them I thought we'd just be having a cold read through, but we ended up having breakfast and spent an hour having a laugh and talking about anything but the film. When we finally got on to the subject of Solid Geometry, they just said would you like to do it? So I think what was important was getting the chemistry right between myself and Ewan. It was a wonderful experience. You are working with people who are very good at what they do so you can relax and enjoy yourself. Sunday Mail, September 1 2002 (thanks xcbug)

(about her sex scene with Ewan)
It was a worry beforehand. You can't help but feel tense about something like that. We rehearsed it and rehearsed it before we shot it because we knew on film it had to be quite erotic. But when we were actually doing it, there was too much humour going on to take it remotely seriously. You're clashing teeth, you're laughing. It's fun, it's embarrassing, it's awkward and the only way to get through it, is to get on with it. By the end of it, I found it quite liberating. I don't feel quite so bothered about being naked as I used to. Sunday Mail, September 1 2002 (thanks xcbug)
