Clive Quotes

"It was part of the job. There`s no point in being embarrassed about it, because that is the name of the game. It was just another day at the office. A very nice day at the office." (On the love scene with Clive Owen in King Arthur (2004))

"George felt that it was just and proper. When he made Empire, we hadn`t met, and he didn`t have a particular idea of who would play the Emperor or how the character would develop. And he had no notion that he would do the back-story - Episodes I, II, and III. So whoever played the Emperor in a mask and added to Revill`s voice wouldn`t seem authentic to the people who are going to watch the entire saga in the right order. It wouldn`t make any sense. Since I was the Emperor (in the other Star Wars films), it felt appropriate that I should be inserted into Empire, and that`s what George did." (on digitally replacing Clive Revill in the DVD release of The Empire Strikes Back)

We expected to have a good time with Clive Davis `cause I`ve always liked him, his shows. I`ve sort of followed his career a bit `cause he had a lot of that on PBS over here.

Being here (at Clive Davis` annual Grammy party) again right now is great, of course, but I wish we were in the studio right now. I feel like we have a lot to prove right now and that we should be working instead of out here partying.
