You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
Alan Rickman
Image
Acting is mostly about listening. If you just focus in on what the other person is saying, acting takes care of itself to quite a large extent.
Alan Rickman
Image
You can act truthfully or you can lie. You can reveal things about yourself or you can hide. Therefore, the audience recognizes something about themselves or they don't -- You hope they don't leave the theatre thinking that was nice...now where's the cab?'

You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.

Image
I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.
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.
Alan Rickman
Image
Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
Image
Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
Image
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
Image
The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic the actor doesn't.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm a lot less serious than people think.
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
Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.
Alan Rickman
Image
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.
Alan Rickman
Image
On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.

The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
Alan Rickman
Image
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.

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.
