Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.

You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.

Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.

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.

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
Image
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
Image
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
Alan Rickman
Image
Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.
Alan Rickman
Image
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.
Alan Rickman
Image
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.

I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
