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 weve really lost that in movies. – Clive Owen
I couldnt bear a marriage in which one partner hinges on the other. – Clive Owen

By the way, movies are like sporting events in that youre as good as the movie youre in.

By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if theyre dreck, its nothing. – Albert Brooks
