More quotes by Alan Rickman
We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.
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 always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.
Alan Rickman
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
Alan Rickman
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.
Alan Rickman
Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.
Alan Rickman
Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.
Alan Rickman
Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.
Alan Rickman
If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.
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
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
Alan Rickman
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.
Alan Rickman
The first time that I came to New York to work properly was the mid-'80s, but I was doing eight shows a week. You have no life. Going to a punk rock club - or whatever the music was at that time - would not have been on my agenda.
Alan Rickman
All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.
Alan Rickman
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.
