More quotes by Gary Oldman

Gary Oldman
I'm rarely asked to play the smartest man in the room.
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
I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies, my name would be pretty low down on the list.
Gary Oldman
My big love was the Beatles. I was more into music.
Gary Oldman
I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.
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
As a drama student I got into Thirties and Forties suits.
Gary Oldman
We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there.
