More quotes by Alan Rickman
That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
Alan Rickman
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
Alan Rickman
Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.
Alan Rickman
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.
Alan Rickman
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
Alan Rickman
I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.
Alan Rickman
I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.
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'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.
Alan Rickman
My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
Alan Rickman
I don't play villains, I play very interesting people
Alan Rickman
When I get off the plane in England I always feel about two inches shorter.
Alan Rickman
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
Alan Rickman
The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'
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
I've learned, having been on a lot of sets, the good news is that by definition you are surrounded by experts. They get fired if they're not - unlike in the theatre!
Alan Rickman
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
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
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
