I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
Image
That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
Alan Rickman
Image
Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

Image
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
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
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman

Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.

I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.

I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.

Image
In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.
Alan Rickman
Image
Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

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

I love working in New York theater.
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.

Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

Image
Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.

I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
