If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.

Image
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.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman

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.

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.

Alan Rickman
Image
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
One thing I will say - my job gets harder and harder. The more you understand about what you are capable of, the less the instrument can do it physically. It's an inverse equation, if that's the right phrase. I just slammed those two words together. It sounded right.

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

Image
There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
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!

If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.

A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
