More quotes by 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.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.
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
Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.
Alan Rickman
My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
Alan Rickman
If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
Alan Rickman
I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.
Alan Rickman
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.
Alan Rickman
I love working in New York theater.
Alan Rickman
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
Older people say, 'Oh I loved you in 'Sense and Sensibility,'' and that's the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about 'Galaxy Quest.' And there's a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about 'Dogma.'
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.
