More quotes by Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
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
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
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
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
My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.
Alan Rickman
I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.
Alan Rickman
Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.
Alan Rickman
I never expected to have any kind of film career, to be honest. It was all a bit of a surprise. But I was in a big hit play on Broadway. America, as many people will say, says yes more often than we do. And so I was suddenly surrounded by people saying yes. But I was aware that was 'cause of what I was in. It had a big impact.
Alan Rickman
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
Alan Rickman
I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.
Alan Rickman
With the best intentions, the job of acting can become a display of accumulated bad habits, trapped instincts and blocked energies. Working with the Alexander Technique has given me sightings of another way... Mind and body, work and life together. Real imaginative freedom.
Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
Alan Rickman
You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
Alan Rickman
All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
