More quotes by Clive Owen
Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.
Clive Owen
I believe that we live in a time of fractured families where maybe fathers aren't getting enough time to see their kids because life's complications and hardships get in the way of those things.
Clive Owen
I was at the birth of my two girls.
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
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.
Clive Owen
I do wear suits all the time.
Clive Owen
Acting is all about likability.
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
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
Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.
Clive Owen
A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.
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
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
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
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
There's not a big gun culture in England at all still.
Clive Owen
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.
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
The theater's a live thing, and film is, to some extent, a discipline where you're putting everything together and trying to execute something exactly. You do it away from people and then you present it at the end.
