I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
Image
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman
Image
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
Image
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
Alan Rickman
Image
A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.
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
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
Alan Rickman

If you judge the character, you cant play it.
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
That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman

I think the thing about film is, as it gets proved by a lot of young filmmakers now, that the medium will just go on reinventing itself, and so you just hope to be a part of that and not a part of some kind of endless regurgitation or 'Here I am doing what you know I do' kind of thing.
Alan Rickman
Image
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
Image
When I get off the plane in England I always feel about two inches shorter.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.
Alan Rickman
Image
The first time that I came to New York to work properly was the mid-'80s, but I was doing eight shows a week. You have no life. Going to a punk rock club - or whatever the music was at that time - would not have been on my agenda.
Alan Rickman
Image
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
Image
Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.
