More quotes by Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
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'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
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman
I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
When I get off the plane in England I always feel about two inches shorter.
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
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
Alan Rickman
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
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
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
