More quotes by Clive Owen
I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.
Clive Owen
I want to go anywhere and everywhere and explore as much as I can.
Clive Owen
I was not a very fearful kid, really.
Clive Owen
A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.
Clive Owen
I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.
Clive Owen
There's certainly a huge element of luck in me ending up where I've ended up.
Clive Owen
Death frees the beast.
Clive Owen
I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.
Clive Owen
America's been very, very good to me. I've been very lucky and worked a lot there, and appreciate and love the work that I've done.
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
One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.
Clive Owen
As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.
Clive Owen
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.
Clive Owen
I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.
Clive Owen
I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
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.
Clive Owen
I actually really love working with young actors because they're so responsive and instinctive, and it's a much less honed craft that they're employing.
Clive Owen
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
If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you're turning the story into a totally different thing the narrative of film is different from that of a book.
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
