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

Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

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

Image
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
Image
The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.

I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word [...] - a jouuuuuurney.
Alan Rickman

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.

I love perfumes. Every morning when my girlfriend and I come down to the courtyard in our block of flats we're assailed by the most delicious scent - jasmine round a doorway. It almost makes me swoon.

If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.

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.

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.'

Image
I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.

One thing I will say - my job gets harder and harder. The more you understand about what you are capable of, the less the instrument can do it physically. It's an inverse equation, if that's the right phrase. I just slammed those two words together. It sounded right.
