Image
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
Image
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
Alan Rickman
Image
With the best intentions, the job of acting can become a display of accumulated bad habits, trapped instincts and blocked energies. Working with the Alexander Technique has given me sightings of another way... Mind and body, work and life together. Real imaginative freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
Image
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
Image
One of the most, in a weird way, encouraging things a director can say to an actor - I know this as an actor - is when you ask them a question, they say, I don't know - 'cause it means there's some space there for you to find out. And it means that there's going to be a process.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.
Alan Rickman
Image
Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.
Alan Rickman
Image
I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
Image
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
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.'
