Acting is mostly about listening. If you just focus in on what the other person is saying, acting takes care of itself to quite a large extent.

I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It's kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals. Yet when you watch him, all you see is freedom. It's a reminder of what the job is about in general, not just being in musicals.

Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.

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

On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.

I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
Image
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
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?

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
You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.

When I get off the plane in England I always feel about two inches shorter.

Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.

I love working in New York theater.

I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.

I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
