Famous quotes

  • « 'Nil By Mouth' was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, that's not my dad. »
    Gary Oldman
  • « I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him. »
    Gary Oldman
