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
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.

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
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
Image
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.
Clive Owen
Image
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.

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.

For me, London is and always will be home.

Image
I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.
Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
Clive Owen
Image
A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don't have that hunger.

I do wear suits all the time.
Clive Owen
Image
Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.
Clive Owen
Image
Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.
Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
America's been very, very good to me. I've been very lucky and worked a lot there, and appreciate and love the work that I've done.
Clive Owen
Image
You see these actresses who have had Botox or something else done, and it takes you out of the film.

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
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.
