Alan Rickman
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
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
I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.
