More quotes by Gerard Butler
I think it's one of the nicest privileges as an actor is to know that you can move people in one moment, make them think about their lives, or make them laugh or make them cry or make them understand something. Or just make them feel something because I think so many of us, including myself, spend too much time not feeling enough, you know?
Gerard Butler
The chance to be both artistically appreciated and commercially appreciated... That's what you hope for.
Gerard Butler
I started singing for The Phantom in January, and we started filming in October and I sang all the way through to the next June. In fact, I was singing for about two months before I even knew I had the role.
Gerard Butler
You know that every bead of sweat falling off your head, every weight you've pumped - the history of that is all in your eyes.
Gerard Butler
In actual fact, I wanted to be an actor, but I was a lawyer, and I was a week away from qualifying and was fired. And that's the day I made an announcement: Hey, for seven years, you thought I was going to be a lawyer. Well, I'm not. I've just lost my job, and I'm packing my bags and moving to London tomorrow to be an actor.
Gerard Butler
I spent many years not knowing where my dad was... Not knowing if my dad was alive, even. He turned up when I was 16 out of the blue.
Gerard Butler
Theres a great sense of achievement, testosterone, fun, being able to live out your masculinity when you play an action role or an action-adventure or a real tough-guy role.
Gerard Butler
Funnily enough, when I originally went in for my screen test, that set was already built.
Gerard Butler
I think the American justice system has a lot more issues than the European justice system, especially the Scottish justice system. We have a really nice mix of European codified law and the traditional English system of common law, which is what the American system is based on.
Gerard Butler
Sometimes along the way in my life I don't want a smart woman right now, I want a dumb woman. But then you think, that doesn't work, now I want a smart woman. Then you get a smart woman and you go no, that doesn't work so it's just killing me right now.
Gerard Butler
The fact that you touched somebody's soul or made them laugh-that's a wonderful thing.
Gerard Butler
Of course when you spend four hours in prosthetic makeup and you really are looking at yourself and you see how revolting you've become in a way, it obviously adds another strand and helps you... a little bit more.
Gerard Butler
I had to get used to wearing a mask and wearing a prosthetic and performing with those things while singing and expressing myself through stylized movement, while keeping it as human as possible so the audience could be closer to the horror of the Phantom.
Gerard Butler
The Scots will do anything to beat the English or just to see them lose, but I've never bought into that really.
Gerard Butler
I love to do films of all shapes and sizes and feelings and genres. So for me to go from Tomb Raider straight into Dear Frankie, there's nothing that excites me more than to keep mixing it up.
Gerard Butler
Be the hero of your own life story.
Gerard Butler
Wilbur brought the vision and Rodney executed it.
Gerard Butler
I'm very down-to-earth. I think I'm still 'street'.
Gerard Butler
My manager and my agents, they go over my contracts.
Gerard Butler
[How to train your dragon] is beautiful to look at and, again, those values that it contains about relationships, friendships, and bonding in the face of ignorance.
