I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
Quote by -Clive Owen
Ultimately, to have a career in movies, to a certain extent, certainly in England, you can't sustain a career in just English movies.
Quote by -Clive Owen
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.
Quote by -Clive Owen
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.
Quote by -Clive Owen
I have a problem with a lot of men's fragrances because they are very strong. Somebody somewhere thinks that masculine means powerful smells, and I find them overbearing and not very pleasant.
Quote by -Clive Owen
Jewelery isn't really my thing, but I've always got my eye on people's watches.
Quote by -Clive Owen
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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Clive Owen
For some people, an event happens and they are thrown into a tabloid feeding ground.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Clive Owen
I've been very fortunate with the scripts I've had and the people I worked with.
Quote by -Clive Owen
I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
Quote by -Clive Owen
I don't do facials or any of that stuff, but my workout regime does tend to depend on whether I have to take my top off in my next film because otherwise I know I'm too heavy.
Quote by -Clive Owen
You see these actresses who have had Botox or something else done, and it takes you out of the film.
Quote by -Clive Owen
The worst piece of advice I've gotten in my whole career is from somebody who said, 'Remember, it's all about likeability.'
Quote by -Clive Owen
When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.
Quote by -Clive Owen
I go off and make movies; I come home, and I'm a dad and I hang with my girls.
Quote by -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.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Clive Owen
It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
Quote by -Clive Owen
After writing a page, Hemingway would let it float to the ground. He never crumpled pages - he believed that if you crumpled them, you'd be insane in a year.
Quote by -Clive Owen
After drama school I did a seven-month tour of Europe performing in 'Romeo and Juliet.' I played Romeo.
Quote by -Clive Owen
I really believe you can carry yourself in such a way that people don't notice you.
Quote by -Clive Owen
I always used to say to myself, I'm going to die of lung cancer. That's the choice I'm making.
Quote by -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.
