More quotes by Gary Oldman
I wasn't ever a huge fan of comics. Just not one of those kids, you know?
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
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.
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
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.
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
If one could have a wish, or an alternative life, I would've liked to have been John Lennon.
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
Shakespeare doesn't really write subtext, you play the subtext.
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
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
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
Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.
Gary Oldman
Reality TV to me is the museum of social decay.
Gary Oldman
You can play older than yourself. You can play younger than yourself up to a point, and then that just becomes impossible because you carry a weight with you that you can't shift, unless you have very boyish looks.
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 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. I was a bit of a soul boy, but I had a very eclectic taste in music - I was into James Brown and Bowie and I was the only kid in the neighbourhood who would also be listening to Chopin.
Gary Oldman
I tend to read non-fiction.
Gary Oldman
We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there.
