Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.

My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.

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

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.

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.

I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.
Alan Rickman
Image
Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
Alan Rickman
Image
Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.
Alan Rickman
Image
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
Alan Rickman
Image
I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.
Alan Rickman
Image
Parts win prizes, not actors.
Alan Rickman
Image
I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
Alan Rickman
Image
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
