Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.

The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.

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 was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
Image
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.'

I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman

With the best intentions, the job of acting can become a display of accumulated bad habits, trapped instincts and blocked energies. Working with the Alexander Technique has given me sightings of another way... Mind and body, work and life together. Real imaginative freedom.

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.'

It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
Image
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.
Alan Rickman
Image
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
Alan Rickman
Image
My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.
Alan Rickman

I think the thing about film is, as it gets proved by a lot of young filmmakers now, that the medium will just go on reinventing itself, and so you just hope to be a part of that and not a part of some kind of endless regurgitation or 'Here I am doing what you know I do' kind of thing.

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.

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.
