Rather like Batman, I embody the themes of the movie which are the values of family, courage and compassion and a sense of right and wrong, good and bad and justice.

More quotes by 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
I was never really that interested in the punk movement. I was a blues guy: I liked Motown, James Brown.
Gary Oldman
Interesting things come your way but as you get older, your lifestyle changes. I don't want to travel I don't want to be in a hotel room away from my family.
Gary Oldman
I was quiet, a loner. I was one of those children where, if you put me in a room and gave me some crayons and a pencils, you wouldn't hear from me for nine straight hours. And I was always drawing racing cars and rockets and spaceships and planes, things that were very fast that would take me away.
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
I did have a knack for playing weirdos. There's still sort of this perception of me out there as being this crazy guy.
Gary Oldman
If one could have a wish, or an alternative life, I would've liked to have been John Lennon.
Gary Oldman
Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.
Gary Oldman
'Nil By Mouth' was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, that's not my dad.
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
My big love was the Beatles. I was more into music.
Gary Oldman
I'm almost incapable of lying. I'd be a terrible spy.
Gary Oldman
I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can't really move from it: it's on buses, in stores, it's everywhere. One of my kids has read the books the other two are too small but they like the movies.
Gary Oldman
Sometimes directors feel like they have to justify that hat that they are wearing they've got on as a director, and they come in and they tweak and interfere.
Gary Oldman
And of course I've got kids of my own now, and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I'm now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids, and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You're suddenly hip.
Gary Oldman
I'm still a member of the Empire! Although I sometimes feel like an American with a British accent - you get contaminated after so long.
Gary Oldman
I never told my father I loved him before he died, and I have a lot of issues about that. They're all swimming around in my head, in my heart, unresolved, and in a way it felt fitting to dedicate the film to him.
Gary Oldman
I grew up in Deptford in south London, and at that time I used to wear toppers, loon pants and tonic suits from shops like Take 6 and Topman. I was a bit of a soul boy, but I had a very eclectic taste in music - I was into James Brown and Bowie and I was the only kid in the neighbourhood who would also be listening to Chopin.
Gary Oldman
I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.
Gary Oldman
I took a bit of a back seat, I had kids and I wanted to focus on them. There's that period in the late '90s, the early 2000s, where I didn't do a great deal.
Gary Oldman
