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.

More quotes by Clive Owen
I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.
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
I always want my options to be open.
Clive Owen
The further you run from your sins, the more exhausted you are when they catch up to you.
Clive Owen
I go off and make movies I come home, and I'm a dad and I hang with my girls.
Clive Owen
Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
Clive Owen
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.
Clive Owen
Very often when you see families it's all perfect and neat, and parenting isn't like that. You do have constant negotiations. Things are ever developing and ever changing, and you constantly have to evaluate how you deal with your kids.

Clive Owen
I feel for those 19-year-olds who get thrust into the limelight that young.
Clive Owen
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
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.
Clive Owen
For me, London is and always will be home.
Clive Owen
After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in 'Romeo and Juliet.' I played Romeo.
Clive Owen
It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
Clive Owen
I dread karaoke. I hate karaoke. I can't sing - that is why.
Clive Owen
I did it for the money. But its not worth much if you cant face yourself in the mirror. Respect is the ultimate currency.
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
