Alan Rickman
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
Alan Rickman
Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.
Alan Rickman
I was coming from a very cerebral, dark, difficult, layered play by Christopher Hampton and doing an action movie in Hollywood (Die Hard) with explosions, and I was holding a gun.
Alan Rickman
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
