More quotes by Clive Owen

Clive Owen
I am a big soccer fan, and a very big Liverpool fan.
Clive Owen
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.
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
There's certainly a huge element of luck in me ending up where I've ended up.
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.
