More quotes by Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
Alan Rickman
The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic the actor doesn't.
Alan Rickman
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
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 always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
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
I never talk about 'Harry Potter' because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it.
Alan Rickman
I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.
Alan Rickman
There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
Alan Rickman
If you judge the character, you cant play it.
Alan Rickman
My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.
Alan Rickman
I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.
Alan Rickman
I don't play villains, I play very interesting people
Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.
Alan Rickman
