More quotes by Alan Rickman

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.

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.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.

Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.

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.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

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?

I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.

Those of you who are not aware of my brilliant career as a stand up comic, I'm not aware of it either so we might well wonder what we're doing here.

If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.

On film you put all your energies into a single glance.

Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.

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

Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

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.

I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.
