Alan Rickman
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.

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
Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.
Alan Rickman
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
Alan Rickman
The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.
