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.

I did have a knack for playing weirdos. There's still sort of this perception of me out there as being this crazy guy.

I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.

Your own barometer is all you have to go by, and often what makes a good director is knowing when not to say something. On occasions you can find yourself on a film set where the person who is wearing the director's hat is only trying to justify his position.

Image
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

The book tells you everything you need to know. The book is the map of the world that you're in with the character.

There are roles that you chase sometimes.

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
Image
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.

Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.

Reality TV to me is the museum of social decay.
Gary Oldman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I don't see a great difference between someone sending a robot or a drone to bomb people and controlling it on a PlayStation from another country. It's thousands of miles away as opposed to someone in an airplane who is thousands of feet away releasing a bomb.

How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.
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.

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'.

We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there.
Gary Oldman
Image
So Harry Potter came in and it is nice that I have kids of the right age. I took them to London and they walked around the set and met Harry Potter and that is thrilling.

I'm almost incapable of lying. I'd be a terrible spy.

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.
