I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.

Image
Obviously, I'm attracted to heavier movies.

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

Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
I was not a very fearful kid, really.
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
I actually really love working with young actors because they're so responsive and instinctive, and it's a much less honed craft that they're employing.
Clive Owen
Image
I dread karaoke. I hate karaoke. I can't sing - that is why.
Clive Owen
Image
I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
Clive Owen
Image
It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
