More quotes by Gary Oldman
There are roles that you chase sometimes.
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
My big love was the Beatles. I was more into music.
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
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
What other people think of me is none of my business.
Gary Oldman

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
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
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
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
At the Oscars, if you didn't vote for '12 Years a Slave' you were a racist.
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 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
I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.
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
