Belfast during the Troubles looked like a different world.

Very often on films, even without a producer credit, I'll be involved, very early on. I want to be there as the thing is taking shape.
Clive Owen
Image
I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.

Image
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.

Acting is all about likability.
Clive Owen

Something I don't like seeing in other people is naked ambition, when somebody is really pushing hard to get to where they want to be. That's the way I look at that word - like you must be stepping on someone to get there. And I've never been comfortable with that.

Image
I'm sort of one of those weird actors who whenever I do a play, I think, Oh, we should film this. As opposed to have to belt it out of ourselves in a theater auditorium.
