Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.

More quotes by Alan Rickman
Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
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
All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
Alan Rickman
Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.
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
Parts win prizes, not actors.
Alan Rickman
Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.
Alan Rickman
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.
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
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
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
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
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
Alan Rickman
If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.
Alan Rickman
It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.
Alan Rickman
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
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
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
