More quotes by Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
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
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
Alan Rickman
I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.
Alan Rickman
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?
Alan Rickman
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.
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
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 do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman
The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic the actor doesn't.
Alan Rickman
Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.
Alan Rickman
Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
Alan Rickman
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
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.
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.
