1、I don't really... go to 'the opening of an envelope.' I don't really turn up to all the events, you know what I mean?

I'm probably just a bit like my grandparents; I like staying in. ----《BrainQuote和詹姆斯麦卡沃伊吧——一美的语录James McAvoy Quotes》

　　2、Film sets are a strange place, but an exciting place. I do love my work; I really enjoy going to work.

But I've played roles where my character has to be charming and I've found it quite easy to do. I think some of it is in my bones, but some of it is more deliberate. ----《BrainQuote和詹姆斯麦卡沃伊吧——一美的语录James McAvoy Quotes》
