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.

I am the character you are not supposed to like.

I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.

Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
Alan Rickman
Image
I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.

Actors are actually very supportive of each other.

I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.

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
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.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.

You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.

The first time that I came to New York to work properly was the mid-'80s, but I was doing eight shows a week. You have no life. Going to a punk rock club - or whatever the music was at that time - would not have been on my agenda.

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

I think the thing about film is, as it gets proved by a lot of young filmmakers now, that the medium will just go on reinventing itself, and so you just hope to be a part of that and not a part of some kind of endless regurgitation or 'Here I am doing what you know I do' kind of thing.

All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
Image
Those of you who are not aware of my brilliant career as a stand up comic, I'm not aware of it either so we might well wonder what we're doing here.

Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.

One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.

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.

I was coming from a very cerebral, dark, difficult, layered play by Christopher Hampton and doing an action movie in Hollywood (Die Hard) with explosions, and I was holding a gun.

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.
