I never aspired to be anything. What I've done is beyond my wildest.

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.

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.

It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.

Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.

The further you run from your sins, the more exhausted you are when they catch up to you.
Clive Owen
Image
The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies.
Clive Owen
Image
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.

Kids before they're 7 or 8 are like little manic obsessives. They become completely hooked on things and they're slightly crazy.
