More quotes by Clive Owen
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
I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.
Clive Owen

Clive Owen
I do wear suits all the time.
Clive Owen
Death frees the beast.
Clive Owen
Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
Clive Owen

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
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
Clive Owen
I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.
Clive Owen
The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.
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
I was very keen on playing a victim.
Clive Owen
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
If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you're turning the story into a totally different thing the narrative of film is different from that of a book.
