I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.

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.

I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.

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

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.

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.

I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.

You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
Alan Rickman
Image
I never talk about 'Harry Potter' because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it.
Alan Rickman
Image
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
Image
I don't play villains, I play very interesting people

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.
Alan Rickman
Image
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?
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman

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

I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
