I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.

More quotes by Alan Rickman

I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
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
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
Image
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
Image
England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said it was phenomenally exciting, musically.
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.
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
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
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.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
Image
When I get off the plane in England I always feel about two inches shorter.
Alan Rickman
Image
I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.
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
Image
My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.

All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
