More quotes by Alan Rickman

So, you know, to thine own self be true.
Alan Rickman

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
Why don't I like you? Because you think I'm an asshole, and I'm not really, I'm just British and, well, you're not.
Alan Rickman
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
