Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
Alan Rickman
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.

I think the thing about film is, as it gets proved by a lot of young filmmakers now, that the medium will just go on reinventing itself, and so you just hope to be a part of that and not a part of some kind of endless regurgitation or 'Here I am doing what you know I do' kind of thing.
Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman

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
A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.
Alan Rickman
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.
Alan Rickman
There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
Alan Rickman
When I get off the plane in England I always feel about two inches shorter.
Alan Rickman
If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
Alan Rickman
Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.
Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.
Alan Rickman
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?'
Alan Rickman
That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
Alan Rickman
