More quotes by 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
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
Alan Rickman
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
One thing I will say - my job gets harder and harder. The more you understand about what you are capable of, the less the instrument can do it physically. It's an inverse equation, if that's the right phrase. I just slammed those two words together. It sounded right.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
Alan Rickman
In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.
Alan Rickman
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
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
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
Alan Rickman
The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.
Alan Rickman
There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
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.'
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.
Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
Alan Rickman
