My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
Alan Rickman
Image
I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
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
There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
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
You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.

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.

Parts win prizes, not actors.

One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.

I'm a lot less serious than people think.

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

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.

You can act truthfully or you can lie. You can reveal things about yourself or you can hide. Therefore, the audience recognizes something about themselves or they don't -- You hope they don't leave the theatre thinking that was nice...now where's the cab?'

I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman
Image
I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.
Alan Rickman
Image
If you judge the character, you cant play it.
Alan Rickman
Image
Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.
Alan Rickman
Image
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.

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.
