As a teenager I was crazy about David Bowie. He was a huge inspiration for me. I dressed a little bit crazily in school and dyed my hair every colour under the sun.

More quotes by Clive Owen
There's not a big gun culture in England at all still.
Clive Owen
Good dialogue is very important.
Clive Owen
I do wear suits all the time.
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
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
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
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
A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.
Clive Owen
When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.
Clive Owen
I was not a very fearful kid, really.
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
I'm a huge fan of 'The Exorcist.'
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
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
I'm competitive with myself, not at the expense of everything around me. I never wanted to be a movie star. I just wanted to act.
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
Sometimes you find your destiny on the road you took to avoid it.
Clive Owen
I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
Clive Owen
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
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
