I never talk about 'Harry Potter' because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it.

I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
Alan Rickman
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
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've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman

One of the most, in a weird way, encouraging things a director can say to an actor - I know this as an actor - is when you ask them a question, they say, I don't know - 'cause it means there's some space there for you to find out. And it means that there's going to be a process.
Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman
I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.
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
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.'
Alan Rickman
Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.
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
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
Alan Rickman
