More quotes by Clive Owen
Action scenes are not that different from other scenes.
Clive Owen
There's not a big gun culture in England at all still.
Clive Owen
After writing a page, Hemingway would let it float to the ground. He never crumpled pages - he believed that if you crumpled them, you'd be insane in a year.
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
Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.
Clive Owen
Obviously, I'm attracted to heavier movies.
Clive Owen
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
Clive Owen
Rudeness can make me angry.
Clive Owen
I don’t mind looking like I need a good wash and a good meal... Any actor who starts taking ‘sex symbol’ seriously or thinks of themselves as a sex symbol has got some serious problems.
Clive Owen
Good dialogue is very important.
Clive Owen
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
Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.
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
Acting is all about likability.
Clive Owen
I'm a huge fan of 'The Exorcist.'
Clive Owen
I dread karaoke. I hate karaoke. I can't sing - that is why.
Clive Owen
I would never give anybody any advice about anything.
Clive Owen
For an actor, it's very important to get a clear idea of what a director wants, and their intention for what they want to get out of a scene and how they want to shoot it. Having that knowledge is really valuable, for an actor. It means you can deliver more.
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
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.
