More quotes by 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
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 think anybody who bets on horses and says they win is probably a liar.
Clive Owen
Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.
Clive Owen
I want to go anywhere and everywhere and explore as much as I can.
Clive Owen
You're always dealing with emotions as an actor.
Clive Owen
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.
Clive Owen
Action scenes are not that different from other scenes.
Clive Owen
I certainly am not a great believer in over-rehearsing between actors, and certainly not doing the dialogue too much.
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
I dread karaoke. I hate karaoke. I can't sing - that is why.
Clive Owen
Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.
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 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
It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
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
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
After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in 'Romeo and Juliet.' I played Romeo.
Clive Owen
I was not a very fearful kid, really.
Clive Owen
Movies are certainly a director's medium, so getting the opportunity to work with really good directors is everything to me.
