There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
Alan Rickman
Image
Why don't I like you? Because you think I'm an asshole, and I'm not really, I'm just British and, well, you're not.
Alan Rickman
Image
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.

My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.
Alan Rickman
Image
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
Image
The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic the actor doesn't.
Alan Rickman
Image
Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.
Alan Rickman
Image
I was coming from a very cerebral, dark, difficult, layered play by Christopher Hampton and doing an action movie in Hollywood (Die Hard) with explosions, and I was holding a gun.

Image
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.

Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
Image
I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.

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.

England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said it was phenomenally exciting, musically.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.

I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman

Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.
Alan Rickman
Image
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?

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.

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.

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.
