More quotes by Alan Rickman
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
If you judge the character, you cant play it.
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
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
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
I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.
Alan Rickman
The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.
Alan Rickman
I approach every part I'm asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn't get it, or if he does?
Alan Rickman
I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.
Alan Rickman
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
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
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
Alan Rickman
Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.
Alan Rickman
Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.
