The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'

More quotes by Alan Rickman
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
Alan Rickman
I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.
Alan Rickman
I love working in New York theater.
Alan Rickman
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.
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
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
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 think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
Alan Rickman
England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said it was phenomenally exciting, musically.
Alan Rickman
My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.
Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.
Alan Rickman
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
When I am asked about influences, I always say I bow down to Fred Astaire, because when you look at him dancing you never look at his extremities, do you? You look at his centre. What you never see is the hours of work that went into the routines, you just see the breathtaking spirit and freedom.
Alan Rickman
