12、I generally get challenged; I haven't been typecast, which is really, really, nice. It's not something that every actor gets, really. It's luxury. Most actors are capable of it, but they aren't afforded the opportunity to express their variety. ----《BrainQuote和詹姆斯麦卡沃伊吧——一美的语录James McAvoy Quotes》

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》
