I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.
Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
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.

I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.
Clive Owen
Image
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.

The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.
Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
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.
Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
I live in London and I love living in a gun free environment and long may it continue.
Clive Owen
Image
There's not a big gun culture in England at all still.
