More quotes by Clive Owen
A lot of the projects that I do, I like to be involved with earlier. I just feel that, certainly from an acting point of view, it's easier to do my job, if I'm included in what the intentions are, for why people are doing what they're doing, especially with a director.
Clive Owen
I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.
Clive Owen
I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.
Clive Owen
After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in 'Romeo and Juliet.' I played Romeo.
Clive Owen
I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.
Clive Owen
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
It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
Clive Owen
One of the views of the [actor's] job is that whatever age you are, there's a role that's about who you are and where you are. There are parts for that age that you can bring things to.
Clive Owen
I did it for the money. But its not worth much if you cant face yourself in the mirror. Respect is the ultimate currency.
Clive Owen
I find sometimes that if you do too many takes, it starts to become meaningless to me. It is hard to sustain it for me. I don't want to do too many.
Clive Owen
Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.
Clive Owen
I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
Clive Owen
When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.
Clive Owen
I guess I'm not that metrosexual. My bathroom cabinet is hardly overflowing with products. I only really have my stuff for shaving. I can't honestly say I moisturise, though I probably should.
Clive Owen
A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.
Clive Owen
A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger.
Clive Owen
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.
Clive Owen
I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.
Clive Owen
I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
Clive Owen
I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.
Clive Owen
