I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
Image
My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.

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.
Alan Rickman
Image
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?

Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.

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.

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
Alan Rickman
Image
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
With the best intentions, the job of acting can become a display of accumulated bad habits, trapped instincts and blocked energies. Working with the Alexander Technique has given me sightings of another way... Mind and body, work and life together. Real imaginative freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
On film you put all your energies into a single glance.
Alan Rickman
Image
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
Alan Rickman
Image
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
Image
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.

Parts win prizes, not actors.
