I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
Alan Rickman

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.
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.'

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.

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.

I approach every part I'm asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn't get it, or if he does?

I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.

You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
