Over the years, I have been asked to play these sort of scary frenetic characters that express their emotions physically.
From Gary Oldman
The thing a drama school can't give you is instinct. It can sharpen instinct but that can't be taught, and you have to have intuition. It's an essential ingredient.
When I decided that I might want to do acting for a living - I don't know where it really came from, since there was no school play or any of that - my mom gave me her blessing. I had to get a scholarship - that was the only way I could have gone to drama school.
I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can't really move from it: it's on buses, in stores, it's everywhere. One of my kids has read the books; the other two are too small but they like the movies.
I wasn't ever a huge fan of comics. Just not one of those kids, you know?
Shakespeare doesn't really write subtext, you play the subtext.
I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in 'Batman 2'.
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.
