More quotes by Alan Rickman
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
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
When I am asked about influences, I always say I bow down to Fred Astaire, because when you look at him dancing you never look at his extremities, do you? You look at his centre. What you never see is the hours of work that went into the routines, you just see the breathtaking spirit and freedom.
Alan Rickman
I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
Alan Rickman
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
Why don't I like you? Because you think I'm an asshole, and I'm not really, I'm just British and, well, you're not.
Alan Rickman
There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
Alan Rickman
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
I never expected to have any kind of film career, to be honest. It was all a bit of a surprise. But I was in a big hit play on Broadway. America, as many people will say, says yes more often than we do. And so I was suddenly surrounded by people saying yes. But I was aware that was 'cause of what I was in. It had a big impact.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.
Alan Rickman
I love working in New York theater.
Alan Rickman
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
Alan Rickman
Parts win prizes, not actors.
Alan Rickman
Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.
Alan Rickman
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
Alan Rickman
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
Alan Rickman
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
If you judge the character, you cant play it.
Alan Rickman
