"‘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 "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." "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 don’t think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies, my name would be pretty low down on the list." More In Dad "My mother raised three children on her own and my dad was a doctor working 16 hours a day."― Christopher Meloni "Do you know that other than my father, I’ve never had a man take care of me?"― Dionne Warwick "There was a bit of a comparison that Bret was making between Vince McMahon and my dad. He looked up to Vince as a dad and stuff, and it was a shame to see the whole thing end the way it did."― Owen Hart
