More quotes by Alan Rickman
Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
Alan Rickman
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.
Alan Rickman
I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.
Alan Rickman
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
Alan Rickman
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.
Alan Rickman
Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
Alan Rickman
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
Alan Rickman
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
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.
Alan Rickman
I was coming from a very cerebral, dark, difficult, layered play by Christopher Hampton and doing an action movie in Hollywood (Die Hard) with explosions, and I was holding a gun.
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
I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It's kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals. Yet when you watch him, all you see is freedom. It's a reminder of what the job is about in general, not just being in musicals.
Alan Rickman
We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
