It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.

Give me a window and I'll stare out it.

Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.

I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

I don't play villains, I play very interesting people

One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.

On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.

I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.

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

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.

There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
Alan Rickman

I approach every part I'm asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn't get it, or if he does?
Alan Rickman

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.

A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.

I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
