I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.
Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman

Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
Image
I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.
Alan Rickman
Image
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.
Alan Rickman
Image
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
Image
If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
