"‘Nil By Mouth’ was a bit autobiographical, but as I always pointed out at the time, that’s not my dad." ― Gary Oldman Topic(s): Dad More From Gary Oldman "Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead, you’re really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour." "Rather like Batman, I embody the themes of the movie which are the values of family, courage and compassion and a sense of right and wrong, good and bad and justice." "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."

It was his dream before it was mine."― Venus Williams "I love being a dad. I just love it."― Jerry Seinfeld
