More quotes by Alan Rickman
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
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
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
I never expected to have any kind of film career, to be honest. It was all a bit of a surprise. But I was in a big hit play on Broadway. America, as many people will say, says yes more often than we do. And so I was suddenly surrounded by people saying yes. But I was aware that was 'cause of what I was in. It had a big impact.
Alan Rickman
Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.
Alan Rickman
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.
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
Why don't I like you? Because you think I'm an asshole, and I'm not really, I'm just British and, well, you're not.
Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.
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 do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
