You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
Alan Rickman
Image
Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.
Alan Rickman
Image
Acting is mostly about listening. If you just focus in on what the other person is saying, acting takes care of itself to quite a large extent.
Alan Rickman
Image
In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.
Alan Rickman
Image
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
Alan Rickman
Image
All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
Image
Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.

Parts win prizes, not actors.

I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
Alan Rickman
Image
The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'
Alan Rickman
Image

Alan Rickman
Image
I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.
Alan Rickman
Image
I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman
Image
I was coming from a very cerebral, dark, difficult, layered play by Christopher Hampton and doing an action movie in Hollywood (Die Hard) with explosions, and I was holding a gun.
Alan Rickman
Image
Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.
Alan Rickman
Image
That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
Alan Rickman
Image
I've learned, having been on a lot of sets, the good news is that by definition you are surrounded by experts. They get fired if they're not - unlike in the theatre!
Alan Rickman
Image
If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
Alan Rickman
Image
Older people say, 'Oh I loved you in 'Sense and Sensibility,'' and that's the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about 'Galaxy Quest.' And there's a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about 'Dogma.'

I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.
