More quotes by Gary Oldman
If one could have a wish, or an alternative life, I would've liked to have been John Lennon.
Gary Oldman
Being an actor is a good way to earn a living. And to meet fabulous people. It's great to live very comfortably. I've been lucky, I've had a lot of fun with great roles, but it is true that if I were extremely rich, I would stop and I would go to play football on a beach in the Caribbean with my children.
Gary Oldman
You can play older than yourself. You can play younger than yourself up to a point, and then that just becomes impossible because you carry a weight with you that you can't shift, unless you have very boyish looks.
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
'Nil By Mouth' was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, that's not my dad.
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
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
I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in 'Batman 2'.
Gary Oldman
I was brought up by my mother and my two sisters, although they're older than me and fled the nest very young, so I was technically raised as an only child, but I was very much loved.
Gary Oldman
I'm rarely asked to play the smartest man in the room.
Gary Oldman
There are roles that you chase sometimes.
Gary Oldman
Speaking very generally, I find that women are spiritually, emotionally, and often physically stronger than men.
Gary Oldman
Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.
Gary Oldman
I'm almost incapable of lying. I'd be a terrible spy.
Gary Oldman
What other people think of me is none of my business.
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
To be able to do this job in the first place you've got to have a bit of an ego.
Gary Oldman
