Gerard Butler Quotes

I’m very down-to-earth. I think I’m still ‘street’ Picture Quote #1

I think some parts of the American justice system have gone haywire Picture Quote #1

I was getting to bed about 10 P.M. so wound up and not getting to sleep by 11, and because I was putting the prosthetics on for five hours, I had to be up at 3 in the morning Picture Quote #1

I started singing for The Phantom in January, and we started filming in October and I sang all the way through to the next June. In fact, I was singing for about two months before I even knew I had the role Picture Quote #1

I was training to be a lawyer... I was president of the law society at Glasgow University, and my bass guitarist was my secretary of my law society; the lead guitarist and writer worked at the law firm that I worked Picture Quote #1

I love to do films of all shapes and sizes and feelings and genres. So for me to go from Tomb Raider straight into Dear Frankie, there’s nothing that excites me more than to keep mixing it up Picture Quote #1

I mean, I made The Phantom, although The Phantom was, believe it or not, an independent film. It was just a very large, expensive independent film Picture Quote #1

I was born in Glasgow. But my family is pretty much from a little town called Paisley, famous for its cotton mills and paisley pattern Picture Quote #1

It was always a dream as I was growing up. I would watch movies, mostly American movies, and be so engrossed in those stories, all I wanted to do was be there. I wanted to be part of that romance or that fantasy or be that warrior or that struggling soul who finally makes it good Picture Quote #1

Ever since I was a child, I have loved being the centre of attention, but similarly, I can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t battled with all sorts of quandaries, fears and weaknesses Picture Quote #1

When I was a vocalist, a lead singer in a rock band, I was a law student at the time. It wasn’t a professional rock band, it was for fun. I was already way out of that by the time Phantom came along. Having to learn to sing, it was such duress, having to really try and get to such a quality Picture Quote #1

I was amazed and upset by the looks I got just walking around the studio... It illuminates the ugliness and the beauty that exists within each of us, and that’s what this story represents to me Picture Quote #1

The Phantom, as well as being backed up by that music, it just so was a role that I identified with so powerfully. From the first second that I walked on to perform Picture Quote #1

My overwhelming memory of being a child is the huge amount of love I felt for my mum. She was my everything, because she was both my mum and my dad Picture Quote #1

I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life - to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course Picture Quote #1

I’ve had broken bones and cuts and dashes and tears from movies, but when I was five, my mom put the biscuits up high so we wouldn’t be helping ourselves. So, one day I asked to stand up on a chair to get a biscuit, and it fell, and the corner of the chair went right into the side of my eye, and it made a big hole in there Picture Quote #1

I did spend a lot of my childhood playing out movie scenarios in my head. I’d walk along the road, pretending like I was in the army, talking on the radio, and doing maneuvers. I dreamt a lot about performing in movies and living in fantasies Picture Quote #1

Manscaping and all of that is not my thing. I’m more of the Clint Eastwood kind of guy Picture Quote #1

The problem with my mind is it sways from side to side. The idea of me fantasizing about becoming an actor quickly led to depression. ‘No, it was never going to happen to me.’ I was a sixteen-year-old kid on the other side of the world from where they made movies. Scottish actors never really got play. There was Sean Connery, and that was it Picture Quote #1

My problem is, whether it’s for emotion or for the talents that a character has to have in a role, I find it very difficult to not take on a challenge. For instance, ‘Phantom Of The Opera,’ in truth, scared the crap out of me, but I wasn’t going to walk away and say, ‘I didn’t do that because I didn’t believe in myself.’ Picture Quote #1

Sometimes along the way in my life I don’t want a smart woman right now, I want a dumb woman. But then you think, ‘That doesn’t work, now I want a smart woman.’ Then you get a smart woman and you go, ‘No, that doesn’t work.’ So it’s just killing me right now Picture Quote #1

So many actors get caught up in their technique, and to be honest, I see it really getting in the way. I see them forcing things. I definitely do my best work when I’m free of that. But I think as an actor, I work really hard in preparing the roles Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t going to be an actor. I was going to be a lawyer. I came from a family just above working class, just below middle class, a great family of wonderful values. The idea of me having a chance for a law degree was enticing. Enticing to me but also very enticing to my family Picture Quote #1

You know that every bead of sweat falling off your head, every weight you’ve pumped - the history of that is all in your eyes, Picture Quote #1

I sang in a rock band when I was training as a lawyer. You know, not professional, we just did it for fun. We just did gigs all over Edinburgh and some in Glasgow and some at festivals Picture Quote #1

I love doing the stunts. It’s as simple as that Picture Quote #1

The truth is never pretty Picture Quote #1

I always find stuff in my characters to relate to Picture Quote #1

I had to prove myself to a lot of different people Picture Quote #1

My manager and my agents, they go over my contracts Picture Quote #1
