If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
Alan Rickman
Image
I love perfumes. Every morning when my girlfriend and I come down to the courtyard in our block of flats we're assailed by the most delicious scent - jasmine round a doorway. It almost makes me swoon.
Alan Rickman

If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.

I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman

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

The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
