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
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
Image
Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm a lot less serious than people think.
Alan Rickman
Image
I've learned, having been on a lot of sets, the good news is that by definition you are surrounded by experts. They get fired if they're not - unlike in the theatre!
Alan Rickman
Image
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
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
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.

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

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.

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
Image
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
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
England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said it was phenomenally exciting, musically.
Alan Rickman
Image
I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.

I don't play villains, I play very interesting people

I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.

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.
