More quotes by 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
One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
Image
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.
Alan Rickman
Image
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm a lot less serious than people think.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
Image
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
Image
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
Alan Rickman
Image
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
Image
If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.
Alan Rickman
Image
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
With the best intentions, the job of acting can become a display of accumulated bad habits, trapped instincts and blocked energies. Working with the Alexander Technique has given me sightings of another way... Mind and body, work and life together. Real imaginative freedom.
Alan Rickman
Image
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
Image
In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.
Alan Rickman
Image
I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
