More quotes by Gary Oldman
Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.
Gary Oldman
I did have a knack for playing weirdos. There's still sort of this perception of me out there as being this crazy guy.
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
At the Oscars, if you didn't vote for '12 Years a Slave' you were a racist.
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
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 know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.
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
As a drama student I got into Thirties and Forties suits.
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
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
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 tend to read non-fiction.
Gary Oldman
I wasn't ever a huge fan of comics. Just not one of those kids, you know?
Gary Oldman
I'm rarely asked to play the smartest man in the room.
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
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
Shakespeare doesn't really write subtext, you play the subtext.
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
