More quotes by Gary Oldman
On set I keep myself to myself I'd rather the director speak up. I'm not gonna direct a younger actor. I think the power of example works best, actually.
Gary Oldman
People who know me , they know I have a sense of humor, I'm a bit of a joker, a bit of a clown really, and I would love someone to exploit that side of me and send me a romantic comedy.
Gary Oldman
The book tells you everything you need to know. The book is the map of the world that you're in with the character.
Gary Oldman
There are roles that you chase sometimes.
Gary Oldman
To be honest, Im a little tired of playing bad guys. I long to do a comedy. But it was fun knocking Indiana Jones around.
Gary Oldman

That's what sets apart one actor from another, and that you can't teach. You can't give someone that. When you're working, putting a character together, or in a scene, that's where things will happen that you have to have the intuition to notice them, and to register them.
Gary Oldman

Gary Oldman
I'm rarely asked to play the smartest man in the room.
Gary Oldman
And costume is so important for an actor. It absolutely helps to get into character it's the closest thing to you, it touches you. Some actors like to go into make-up and then put their clothes on, but I like to dress first that's my routine.
Gary Oldman
Speaking very generally, I find that women are spiritually, emotionally, and often physically stronger than men.
Gary Oldman
I didn't do drugs. It wasn't my thing. But the drink was terrible. Today when I look back, it's like I was another person. You could call it a coping mechanism, but that would be an excuse. I just drank too much.
Gary Oldman
The thing a drama school can't give you is instinct. It can sharpen instinct but that can't be taught, and you have to have intuition. It's an essential ingredient.
Gary Oldman
I wasn't ever a huge fan of comics. Just not one of those kids, you know?
Gary Oldman
We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there.
Gary Oldman
I like celluloid, I like film, I like the way that when a movie is projected it sort of breathes a little in the gate. That's the magic of it to me.
Gary Oldman
I did have a knack for playing weirdos. There's still sort of this perception of me out there as being this crazy guy.
