After writing a page, Hemingway would let it float to the ground. He never crumpled pages - he believed that if you crumpled them, you'd be insane in a year.

More quotes by Clive Owen
It's important to me that everyone is treated with respect.
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
I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.
Clive Owen
One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.
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
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
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
You see these actresses who have had Botox or something else done, and it takes you out of the film.
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
Belfast during the Troubles looked like a different world.
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
Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
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
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 do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.
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'm just constantly trying to renew and give myself new challenges and push myself to uncomfortable places, trying to get better.
Clive Owen
I live in London and I love living in a gun free environment and long may it continue.
Clive Owen
A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.
Clive Owen
There's certainly a huge element of luck in me ending up where I've ended up.
