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

Clive Owen
Acting is all about likability.
Clive Owen
