"I got obsessed with classical music, I got obsessed with Chopin, with playing the piano." ― Gary Oldman Topic(s): Music More From Gary Oldman "How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand." "Speaking very generally, I find that women are spiritually, emotionally, and often physically stronger than men." "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." More In Music "Once I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do."― Rick Springfield "To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked."― Dirk Benedict "My life so common it disappears and sometimes even music cannot substitute for tears."― Paul Simon
