More quotes by Alan Rickman

I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.
Alan Rickman
Image
I don't play villains, I play very interesting people
Alan Rickman
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
Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
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
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
Image
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
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.

Image
Those of you who are not aware of my brilliant career as a stand up comic, I'm not aware of it either so we might well wonder what we're doing here.
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
Parts win prizes, not actors.
Alan Rickman
Image
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
Alan Rickman
Image
I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
Image
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
Image
And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.
