I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.

I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman

I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.

I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.

That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.

I'm a lot less serious than people think.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
I've learned, having been on a lot of sets, the good news is that by definition you are surrounded by experts. They get fired if they're not - unlike in the theatre!
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
Image
When I am asked about influences, I always say I bow down to Fred Astaire, because when you look at him dancing you never look at his extremities, do you? You look at his centre. What you never see is the hours of work that went into the routines, you just see the breathtaking spirit and freedom.

If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.

Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.

I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.

Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.
Alan Rickman
Image
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
Image
If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
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.

Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.
