I applaud anything that can take a kid away from a PlayStation or a Gameboy. That is a miracle in itself. Gary Oldman applaudgameboykid Change image and share on social
I love the simple poetry of theater, where you can stand in a spotlight on a stage and wrap a coat around you, and say, 'It was 1860 and it was winter...' Gary Oldman coatlovepoetry Change image and share on social

There will always be spies. We have to have them. Without them we wouldn't have got Osama bin Laden - it took us years, but it happened. Gary Oldman binhappenlade Change image and share on social
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 backcallcope share on social
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 breathecelluloidfilm Change image and share on social
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.

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 careercovetdinner share on social
There's no handbook for parenting. So you walk a very fine line as a parent because you are civilizing these raw things. They will tip the coffee over and finger-paint on the table. At some point, you have to say, 'We're gonna have to clean that up because you don't paint with coffee on a table.' Gary Oldman civilizecleancoffee share on social
My favorite meal would have to be good old-fashioned eggs, over easy, with bacon. Many others, but you can't beat that on a Sunday morning, especially with a cup of tea. Gary Oldman baconbeatcup Change image and share on social
