I was very keen on playing a victim.

Action scenes are not that different from other scenes.

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.

I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.
Clive Owen
Image
I go off and make movies I come home, and I'm a dad and I hang with my girls.

I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
Clive Owen
Image
Rudeness can make me angry.
Clive Owen
Image
The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies.

I live in London and I love living in a gun free environment and long may it continue.

No matter who the character is and how big their role, that each person in the story is a human being and deserves respect. Even if they're in the story for ten seconds, I didn't want you to just see them as this entity passing through that's serving all of the other people.

It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.
