Clive Owen Thinking Quotations

I've got an age that I do think of myself.

Any actor who starts taking `sex symbol' seriously or thinks of themselves as a sex symbol has got some serious problems. I don't mind looking like I need a good wash and a good meal.

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.

I think it's dangerous to get into ideas of planning careers.

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.

I think that Phil Kaufman is one of the best directors that I have come across.

I think anybody who bets on horses and says they win is probably a liar.

I don't just like to have 1 take, but not too many. I think it is good to keep it alive.

I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.

I watch a film and the most important thing to me is what I think of the movie.

I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.

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.
