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.

You see these actresses who have had Botox or something else done, and it takes you out of the film.

One of the views of the [actor's] job is that whatever age you are, there's a role that's about who you are and where you are. There are parts for that age that you can bring things to.

A lot of the projects that I do, I like to be involved with earlier. I just feel that, certainly from an acting point of view, it's easier to do my job, if I'm included in what the intentions are, for why people are doing what they're doing, especially with a director.

If you explode onto the scene at a very young age, there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important.
Clive Owen
Image
I go off and make movies I come home, and I'm a dad and I hang with my girls.
Clive Owen
Image
I certainly am not a great believer in over-rehearsing between actors, and certainly not doing the dialogue too much.
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.

Image
I am a big soccer fan, and a very big Liverpool fan.
Clive Owen
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.
Clive Owen
Image
I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.
Clive Owen
Image
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.

I'm just constantly trying to renew and give myself new challenges and push myself to uncomfortable places, trying to get better.
