Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.
Alan Rickman
Image
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 point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.

I don't play villains, I play very interesting people
Alan Rickman
Image
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.
Alan Rickman
Image
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
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
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.

Give me a window and I'll stare out it.

If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
