More quotes by Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.
Alan Rickman
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman
We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.
Alan Rickman
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
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
Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.
Alan Rickman
All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
Alan Rickman
Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.
Alan Rickman
One of the most, in a weird way, encouraging things a director can say to an actor - I know this as an actor - is when you ask them a question, they say, I don't know - 'cause it means there's some space there for you to find out. And it means that there's going to be a process.
Alan Rickman
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It's kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals. Yet when you watch him, all you see is freedom. It's a reminder of what the job is about in general, not just being in musicals.
Alan Rickman
I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.
