Gerard Butler's quotes
- On his new acting career: "[During] some of the most miserable periods of my life, people thought I was very happy. And now that I'm actually happier, I don't have to show it. I'm more comfortable with myself."
- In Scotland I'm just like a lot of other guys, but in America I'm seen as a very strong, masculine guy.
- On solitude: I love to spend a lot of time on my own. I can seriously go into my own head and often love to let myself travel where I don't know where I'm going. I always felt that that was his kind of form of escape, in a way.
- On acting: Just make them feel something, because I think so many of us, including myself, spend too much time not feeling enough, you know?
- I saw this movie [How to Train Your Dragon (2010)] and thought "wow, I would really like an animated kid".
- 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.
- [If he kept up his good shape after 300 (2006)] Actually yes. I'm not as big as I was. But I'm still pretty cut.
- [on his transformation for Gods of Egypt] I was playing an Egyptian God in this one and I put on 30 pounds in 4 months. That's a lot. At that time I decided I am never going to do it again. I've done it too many times now. It's tough.
- [The 3 things that an actor leads to be a leading man action star] A six-pack. A sense of humor. And some honorable traits in some ways.
