Quote

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.

I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
Clive Owen
Image
It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.
Clive Owen
Image
I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
Clive Owen
Image
You see these actresses who have had Botox or something else done, and it takes you out of the film.
Clive Owen
Image
A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.
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.
Clive Owen
Image
Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.

I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.
Clive Owen

The further you run from your sins, the more exhausted you are when they catch up to you.
Clive Owen
Image
I never aspired to be anything. What I've done is beyond my wildest.
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.

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 do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.
Clive Owen
Image
You're always dealing with emotions as an actor.
Clive Owen
Image
I am a big soccer fan, and a very big Liverpool fan.

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

I guess I'm not that metrosexual. My bathroom cabinet is hardly overflowing with products. I only really have my stuff for shaving. I can't honestly say I moisturise, though I probably should.
Clive Owen

The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.

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.

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.
