More quotes by 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
I have a problem with a lot of men's fragrances because they are very strong. Somebody somewhere thinks that masculine means powerful smells, and I find them overbearing and not very pleasant.
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
When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.
Clive Owen
A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.
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
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
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
I just like to keep challenging myself, keep it varied. It's a craft, and I'm constantly trying to learn and get better at it.
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
Good dialogue is very important.
Clive Owen
I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.
Clive Owen
I go off and make movies I come home, and I'm a dad and I hang with my girls.
Clive Owen
Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
Clive Owen
I dread karaoke. I hate karaoke. I can't sing - that is why.
Clive Owen
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
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.
Clive Owen
There's not a big gun culture in England at all still.
Clive Owen
It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
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.
Clive Owen
