More quotes by Alan Rickman
I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.
Alan Rickman
Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.
Alan Rickman
If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
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 think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.
Alan Rickman
A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.
Alan Rickman
I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.
Alan Rickman
I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.
Alan Rickman
Acting is mostly about listening. If you just focus in on what the other person is saying, acting takes care of itself to quite a large extent.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.
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
England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said it was phenomenally exciting, musically.
Alan Rickman
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
