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.

Death frees the beast.

I'm a huge fan of 'The Exorcist.'
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.

I am a big soccer fan, and a very big Liverpool fan.

I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
Clive Owen
Image
When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.
Clive Owen
Image
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.

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.

I guess I'm not that metrosexual. My bathroom cabinet is hardly overflowing with products. I only really have my stuff for shaving. I can't honestly say I moisturise, though I probably should.

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.

The further you run from your sins, the more exhausted you are when they catch up to you.

I don’t mind looking like I need a good wash and a good meal... Any actor who starts taking ‘sex symbol’ seriously or thinks of themselves as a sex symbol has got some serious problems.
Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
I certainly am not a great believer in over-rehearsing between actors, and certainly not doing the dialogue too much.
Clive Owen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.

A room full of great sportsmen is so much better than a room full of actors.

For me, London is and always will be home.

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.
