Clive Owen’s 5 most popular quotes
- The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. Corny, but that’s what I believe. They’re what connect us as human beings.
- Theatre uses a different energy. It’s like going to the gym and having a vigorous workout. But every few years is enough because I love filming. I am a real film animal.
- Theater is like exercise. I feel it’s healthy. But I don’t love it as much as movies. A bad experience in the theater can be so depressing. You’ve got to do it every night, even if the production is not working.
- I don’t “do” emotion. Emotions are overrated. I’m more interested in creating a presence.
- That’s the best place to be, both excited and scared. What’s the worst thing that can happen? The worst thing that can happen is that I’ll be bad. I’ve been bad before – I’ll be bad again.
