More quotes by 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
Shakespeare doesn't really write subtext, you play the subtext.
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
I'm rarely asked to play the smartest man in the room.
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
At the Oscars, if you didn't vote for '12 Years a Slave' you were a racist.
Gary Oldman
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.
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
My big love was the Beatles. I was more into music.
Gary Oldman
Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.
Gary Oldman
There are roles that you chase sometimes.
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
Growing up in a particular neighborhood, growing up in a working-class family, not having much money, all of those things fire you and can give you an edge, can give you an anger.
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
People have an idea that one is in control of a career, a lot more than you really are. You can engineer things to an extent. But you are at the mercy of what comes in across the desk.
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 know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.
