Clive Owen Quotes
- The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

- The serve, I was too young and too small and... not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot.
