Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.
Clive Owen
Image
I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
Clive Owen
Image
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
Clive Owen
Image
I don't like it when people are trying too hard. That goes for clothes, for acting, for everything. It's just not good when it seems like you're making too much of an effort.

Image
The theater's a live thing, and film is, to some extent, a discipline where you're putting everything together and trying to execute something exactly. You do it away from people and then you present it at the end.

Image
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 go off and make movies I come home, and I'm a dad and I hang with my girls.

I would never give anybody any advice about anything.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

Kids before they're 7 or 8 are like little manic obsessives. They become completely hooked on things and they're slightly crazy.
Clive Owen
Image
I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.
Clive Owen
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.
Clive Owen
Image
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.

Action scenes are not that different from other scenes.

Image
Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
Clive Owen
Image
I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.

I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.
Clive Owen
Image
I've got actor friends who didn't get breaks, who struggle and worry about things that I'm fortunate not to have to worry about.
Clive Owen
Image
I do wear suits all the time.

After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in 'Romeo and Juliet.' I played Romeo.
