More quotes by Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.
Alan Rickman
Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
Alan Rickman
The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'
Alan Rickman
I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.
Alan Rickman
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.
Alan Rickman
Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
One of the most, in a weird way, encouraging things a director can say to an actor - I know this as an actor - is when you ask them a question, they say, I don't know - 'cause it means there's some space there for you to find out. And it means that there's going to be a process.
Alan Rickman
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
There's, like, marks next to an actor's name or something, and boy does that go up and down! Somewhere in there, which always causes my mate Miss Ruby Wax great hilarity, I was offered a biopic of Frank Sinatra. Even I knew that was a bad idea! They'll throw anything at you at certain times. So, you know, to thine own self be true.
Alan Rickman
My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.
Alan Rickman
You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
Alan Rickman
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
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
