I love perfumes. Every morning when my girlfriend and I come down to the courtyard in our block of flats we're assailed by the most delicious scent - jasmine round a doorway. It almost makes me swoon.
Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman
Image
Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.
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
Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.
Alan Rickman
Image
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
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.

When I get off the plane in England I always feel about two inches shorter.

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
