Very often when you see families it's all perfect and neat, and parenting isn't like that. You do have constant negotiations. Things are ever developing and ever changing, and you constantly have to evaluate how you deal with your kids.

It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.

I'm competitive with myself, not at the expense of everything around me. I never wanted to be a movie star. I just wanted to act.

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.

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.

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.

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 never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.
Clive Owen
Image
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.

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.

The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.

Sometimes you find your destiny on the road you took to avoid it.

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.

Image
For me, London is and always will be home.

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

I did it for the money. But its not worth much if you cant face yourself in the mirror. Respect is the ultimate currency.

I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.
