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.

More quotes by Gary Oldman
Rather like Batman, I embody the themes of the movie which are the values of family, courage and compassion and a sense of right and wrong, good and bad and justice.
Gary Oldman
If one could have a wish, or an alternative life, I would've liked to have been John Lennon.
Gary Oldman
I was quiet, a loner. I was one of those children where, if you put me in a room and gave me some crayons and a pencils, you wouldn't hear from me for nine straight hours. And I was always drawing racing cars and rockets and spaceships and planes, things that were very fast that would take me away.
Gary Oldman
I'm almost incapable of lying. I'd be a terrible spy.
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
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
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 able to do this job in the first place you've got to have a bit of an ego.
Gary Oldman
As a drama student I got into Thirties and Forties suits.
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 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 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
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
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
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'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
'Nil By Mouth' was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, that's not my dad.
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
I don't go to premieres. I don't go to parties. I don't covet the Oscar. I don't want any of that. I don't go out. I just have dinner at home every night with my kids. Being famous, that's a whole other career. And I haven't got any energy for it.
Gary Oldman
