Peter Mullan (actor Young Adam - Les)
I play this impotent Barge owner called Les. Ewan arrives on the scene and repays Les’s kindness by proceeding to shag his wife, followed by every other woman in the film! It’s a brilliant role! Ewan’s beaming at me like a Cheshire cat because he goes through about eight women in this film. The one sex scene I get - I play a man who can’t get it up! I didn’t get any cast-offs, sloppy seconds, nottin’! There’s even two scenes where I’m driving the boat and Ewan’s shagging on the barge steps! I think girls like seeing Ewan getting up to naughties. They seem to go for that for some strange reason. Manchester online, February 2003 (thanks Mary)

Val brought this to the attention of the Ewanspotting board last October, somehow I forgot to post it here:

Jason Isaacs (actor Black Hawk Down - Cpt Steele)
(on the actors' one week boot camp training experience)
You don't understand, Ewan McGregor doesn't take orders from me. But god bless him, for a week he did. Rise, Channel 4 morning show, October 29 2002 (thanks Val)

An older quote taken from a RealOne audio interview clip found on Sandy's hard drive - if anyone can confirm the source and/or the date I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Cameron Diaz (actor A Life Less Ordinary - Celine)
We had a great time together. Our first week together we did dance rehearsal, so we were dancing right away. We were cheek to cheek and I'm jumping into his arms off the tables. You start to trust somebody right away - immediate trust. We just started laughing, having a good laugh together. The first day we met one another, it just sort of clicked. We just had a good time from there on out really. Hollywood Online, 1997 (thanks Sandy)

William Perkins (indoor batting cage owner)
(on teaching Ewan to hit a baseball for a scene in Big Fish)
I've worked with him three times now. He's an easy student, a real personable guy. Birmingham News, February 2 2003 (thanks Darth Mystique)

Renee Zellweger (actor Down With Love - Barbara)
Ewan McGregor is phenomenal as this character, and it is nothing we have seen him do before. I am a big fan of his, and I have been for a long time. I think there is nothing he can't do. And he is dreamy in his little suits. He was great. Bloomberg Financial News, January 2003 (thank you firingsquard)
