Dennis Drake (screenwriter Down With Love)
Ewan is a godsend. What he brings to this immediately from day one is the energy and brightness, which is a real gift for light comedy. Out Magazine, April 2003 (thank you Melanie)

Dan Jinks (producer Down With Love)
What Ewan has in common with Rock Hudson’s screen persona is that he's a guy who women find incredibly attractive - along with gay men - and he also makes men feel incredibly comfortable. He really is a ladies' man and a guy's guy. Out Magazine, April 2003 (thank you Melanie)

Renee Zellweger (actor Down With Love - Barbara)
(commenting on Ewan and a scene he did wearing only a towel)
He gives so much and he's so good at what he does. And that towel. He's a wonderful person and a nice guy and fun ...and the towel! That poor man endured so much harassment from Sarah [Paulson, who costars] and myself. And every day you go to work and there's his gorgeous, really smart, multilingual wife with their two gorgeous children. A wonderful family. Out Magazine, April 2003 (thank you Melanie)

Renee Zellweger (actor Down With Love - Barbara)
(on whether she and Ewan have chemistry in the film)
I didn't think about it. I guess that's part of not forcing something to happen. I've known Ewan for a very long time. I'd see him in passing at different things I'd go to and we would always laugh, so I knew I liked him. We were like preschoolers every day on set. It's nice when you can find a partner in crime. I recently recorded a song with him and I laughed like a little girl for eight hours. Every time we did it, we put a different spin on it. I guess chemistry is so that people can feel your joy, feel the fun you had. I think people seeing the movie will feel that we had fun. You can feel that everyone was kind of joyful on that set. Variety's V Life, April 2003 (thanks Mary)

Peter Mullan (actor Trainspotting - Swanney, Young Adam - Les)
Trainspotting was a fairly dark subject, but none of us were prepared beforehand to see this dead baby and when we did, it was pretty devastating. We all just went in the other room and wept for about an hour afterwards. That's me, Jonny Lee Miller and Ewan McGregor - we all just huddled together and wept. Daily Record, March 15 2003

I've been having major problems getting the template on this blog to update, it's been driving me nuts. I have figured it out at last, so I can finally add a link to a great site put up by Alabama's Montgomery Advertiser newspaper. It's all about the filming of Ewan's current project, 'Big Fish'. There are articles galore and many fantastic pictures, please visit.

Renee Zellweger (actor Down With Love - Barbara)
(on filming Down With Love)
It was a real challenge to find the balance between what's ironic and what's reality based. I just walked away thinking 'God, Ewan McGregor is such a movie star.' Premiere, April 2003 (thanks Mary, Claude and Gail)

Dan Jinks (producer Down With Love, Big Fish)
(about Ewan in Down With Love)
He’s been working out with a trainer for weeks now. He looks incredible. He’s supposed to be this macho playboy guy, we wanted to accentuate the leading-man body. Out Magazine, April 2003 (thanks Candlefairy)

Renee Zellweger (actor Down With Love - Barbara)
My girlfriend Sarah Paulson (her co-star in the movie) and I were laughing one day because we couldn't get over how gorgeous Ewan McGregor is. You just die when you see him. Cosmopolitan, April 2003

David Mackenzie (director Young Adam)
(on Ewan's sex scene with Emily Mortimer)
There is sex and violence in there, and the two are kind of linked. They all went into the whole sexual side very much with their eyes open and as fine actors, and we’ve got some good stuff. They weren’t spanking very hard. The Scotsman, February 23 2002 (thanks Claude)
