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

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

I love perfumes. Every morning when my girlfriend and I come down to the courtyard in our block of flats we're assailed by the most delicious scent - jasmine round a doorway. It almost makes me swoon.

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.

When I am asked about influences, I always say I bow down to Fred Astaire, because when you look at him dancing you never look at his extremities, do you? You look at his centre. What you never see is the hours of work that went into the routines, you just see the breathtaking spirit and freedom.

I was a student in London in the '70s, so CBGB really wasn't on my radar at all. Obviously, I was aware of the emergence of the Police in England and as an art student, I was very aware of David Byrne, but I suppose my musical taste at that time certainly didn't stretch towards the Dead Boys or the Ramones.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.

The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic the actor doesn't.
Alan Rickman

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.

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

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.

The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
