More quotes by Clive Owen
Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
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
For me, London is and always will be home.
Clive Owen
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.
Clive Owen
I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.
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
For an actor, it's very important to get a clear idea of what a director wants, and their intention for what they want to get out of a scene and how they want to shoot it. Having that knowledge is really valuable, for an actor. It means you can deliver more.
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 was at the birth of my two girls.
Clive Owen
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.
Clive Owen
I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.
Clive Owen
Sometimes you find your destiny on the road you took to avoid it.
Clive Owen
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
Clive Owen
I find sometimes that if you do too many takes, it starts to become meaningless to me. It is hard to sustain it for me. I don't want to do too many.
Clive Owen
I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.
Clive Owen
I'd like to do a film which is funny.
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 never aspired to be anything. What I've done is beyond my wildest.
Clive Owen
I go off and make movies I come home, and I'm a dad and I hang with my girls.
Clive Owen
The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.
Clive Owen
