I never wanted to be a movie ...

I never wanted to be a movie star.

As I get older, I've been having a better and better time.

Clive Owen 142 quotes

If you are making a script ba...

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.

I certainly am not a great be...

I certainly am not a great believer in over-rehearsing between actors, and certainly not doing the dialogue too much.

Clive Owen 142 quotes

I believe that we live in a t...

I believe that we live in a time of fractured families where maybe fathers aren't getting enough time to see their kids because life's complications and hardships get in the way of those things.

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.

One of the things I love, mor...

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.

Clive Owen 142 quotes

I don't think you necessarily...

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 142 quotes

When you're doing those opera...

When you're doing those operation scenes, you not only have to be on top of the dialogue and the rhythm of the dialogue and what's happening dramatically, but you've got to technically get the rhythm right, so that everything is fitting with the dialogue at the right time. And you're performing the operation to the audience that's watching it. Thackery has to present it, as well. In some ways, that's the most challenging.

Clive Owen 142 quotes

You go back to those films of...

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other, the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I don’t mind looking like I n...

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 142 quotes

I'm always very aware of the ...

I'm always very aware of the physical challenges of work. I train much more than I did when I was in my twenties, and I've done some very physical films, and I always get properly prepared for them and get as fit as I can.

There are a lot of people who go through a lot of tough things, and it doesn't stop them from wanting to be a better parent.

I'm a big fan of comedies and dramas, and I watch tons of movies.

Clive Owen 142 quotes

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

Acting is all about likability.

Clive Owen 142 quotes

No matter who the character i...

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 142 quotes

I find sometimes that if you ...

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 142 quotes

Something I don't like seeing...

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 142 quotes

Film is very much about capturing the essence of things - if you feel it, and you've got the right person shooting it, it'll come across. Theater's a different animal; it's physically different and requires a different discipline. In the theater, you're mining the same material, constantly honing the same thing, executing it and keeping it alive and fresh.
