More quotes by Alan Rickman
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
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
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
Alan Rickman
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
You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
Alan Rickman
Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.
Alan Rickman
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
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
I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman
I don't play villains, I play very interesting people
Alan Rickman
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?'
Alan Rickman
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
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
Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
Alan Rickman
I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.
Alan Rickman
If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
Alan Rickman
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.
