More quotes by Alan Rickman
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
I never expected to have any kind of film career, to be honest. It was all a bit of a surprise. But I was in a big hit play on Broadway. America, as many people will say, says yes more often than we do. And so I was suddenly surrounded by people saying yes. But I was aware that was 'cause of what I was in. It had a big impact.
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
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
Parts win prizes, not actors.
Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.
Alan Rickman
Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
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
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
I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
Alan Rickman
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
I'm a lot less serious than people think.
Alan Rickman
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
