I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.
Alan Rickman

I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.

Parts win prizes, not actors.

That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.

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
Image
I'm a lot less serious than people think.
Alan Rickman

We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.
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.
