As long as you do the best work that you can and not make it bland... because you're going down a lane that is trying to make everybody happy. You have to take an angle on these things.

More quotes by Gerard Butler
When I'm making a movie, it's making use of my creative juices, and it fills me up with what really is - I think my purpose here is to tell stories.
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
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
On Phantom... I listened to the music while I was reading the script. And it had just blown me away. I really... I was so excited about it. It's been a long time since I really got so excited about something.
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 chance to be both artistically appreciated and commercially appreciated... That's what you hope for.
Gerard Butler
Iceland is 50 percent Celtic blood, from the females that they stole from us, which is why our country has only got dogs left. It was a joke! I'll never be let back in Scotland again!
Gerard Butler
Funnily enough, when I originally went in for my screen test, that set was already built.
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
I'm very down-to-earth. I think I'm still 'street'.
Gerard Butler
I think I get laid less now than I used to, because I’m way more paranoid now.
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
Wilbur brought the vision and Rodney executed it.
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
[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.
Gerard Butler
Lessons not learned in blood are soon forgotten.
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
I appreciate and love women for many reasons, tall and small, plump and skinny, and crazy and demure. I see beauty in all of them.
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
The fact that you touched somebody's soul or made them laugh-that's a wonderful thing.
Gerard Butler
