We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.
Alan Rickman

I'm a lot less serious than people think.

Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.
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.

I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
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.

Older people say, 'Oh I loved you in 'Sense and Sensibility,'' and that's the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about 'Galaxy Quest.' And there's a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about 'Dogma.'

So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.

You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.

Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.

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.

There's, like, marks next to an actor's name or something, and boy does that go up and down! Somewhere in there, which always causes my mate Miss Ruby Wax great hilarity, I was offered a biopic of Frank Sinatra. Even I knew that was a bad idea! They'll throw anything at you at certain times. So, you know, to thine own self be true.

It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.

If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.

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.

I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.
