I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.
Alan Rickman
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman
Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.
Alan Rickman
I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
