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.
Clive Owen
Image
I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.

Image
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.

Kids before they're 7 or 8 are like little manic obsessives. They become completely hooked on things and they're slightly crazy.

Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.

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.

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.

Action scenes are not that different from other scenes.
Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.
Clive Owen
Image
The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.

Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
Clive Owen
Image
Very often on films, even without a producer credit, I'll be involved, very early on. I want to be there as the thing is taking shape.

When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.

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.
