More quotes by Gary Oldman
Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.
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
Getting sober was one of the three pivotal events in my life, along with becoming an actor and having a child. Of the three, finding my sobriety was the hardest thing.
Gary Oldman
There are roles that you chase sometimes.
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.

I grew up in Deptford in south London, and at that time I used to wear toppers, loon pants and tonic suits from shops like Take 6 and Topman.

Gary Oldman

Gary Oldman

Gary Oldman
If one could have a wish, or an alternative life, I would've liked to have been John Lennon.
Gary Oldman
Shakespeare doesn't really write subtext, you play the subtext.
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 wasn't ever a huge fan of comics. Just not one of those kids, you know?
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
I'm rarely asked to play the smartest man in the room.
Gary Oldman
What other people think of me is none of my business.
Gary Oldman
To be able to do this job in the first place you've got to have a bit of an ego.
