More quotes by Alan Rickman
It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.
Alan Rickman
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
Alan Rickman
I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
Alan Rickman
I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
Alan Rickman
My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
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
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.
Alan Rickman
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
Alan Rickman
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
Alan Rickman
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
Alan Rickman
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
Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
Older people say, 'Oh I loved you in 'Sense and Sensibility,'' and that's the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about 'Galaxy Quest.' And there's a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about 'Dogma.'
