More quotes by Clive Owen
I'm sort of one of those weird actors who whenever I do a play, I think, Oh, we should film this. As opposed to have to belt it out of ourselves in a theater auditorium.
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 treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
Clive Owen
I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.
Clive Owen
I find sometimes that if you do too many takes, it starts to become meaningless to me. It is hard to sustain it for me. I don't want to do too many.
Clive Owen
Good dialogue is very important.
Clive Owen
I've got actor friends who didn't get breaks, who struggle and worry about things that I'm fortunate not to have to worry about.
Clive Owen
I'm a huge fan of 'The Exorcist.'
Clive Owen
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.
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
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.
Clive Owen
Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.
Clive Owen
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
Kids before they're 7 or 8 are like little manic obsessives. They become completely hooked on things and they're slightly crazy.
Clive Owen
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
There's certainly a huge element of luck in me ending up where I've ended up.
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
Something I don't like seeing in other people is naked ambition, when somebody is really pushing hard to get to where they want to be. That's the way I look at that word - like you must be stepping on someone to get there. And I've never been comfortable with that.
Clive Owen
Belfast during the Troubles looked like a different world.
Clive Owen
I was not a very fearful kid, really.
