Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.

I am the character you are not supposed to like.

Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.

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

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.

Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.

I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.

My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.

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

I never talk about 'Harry Potter' because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it.
Alan Rickman

I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman
Image
I never expected to have any kind of film career, to be honest. It was all a bit of a surprise. But I was in a big hit play on Broadway. America, as many people will say, says yes more often than we do. And so I was suddenly surrounded by people saying yes. But I was aware that was 'cause of what I was in. It had a big impact.

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

I love working in New York theater.

You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.

There's, like, marks next to an actor's name or something, and boy does that go up and down! Somewhere in there, which always causes my mate Miss Ruby Wax great hilarity, I was offered a biopic of Frank Sinatra. Even I knew that was a bad idea! They'll throw anything at you at certain times. So, you know, to thine own self be true.

Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.

I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.

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.
