More quotes by Alan Rickman

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
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
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 never talk about 'Harry Potter' because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it.
Alan Rickman
Image
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.

I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman
Image
Originally, theater was my life. It was what I assumed I'd spend my working life doing - if I was lucky. Then along came movies.

Image
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.

On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.

I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
Image
We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.
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
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
Image
My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.

Image
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
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.

Older people say, 'Oh I loved you in 'Sense and Sensibility,'' and that's the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about 'Galaxy Quest.' And there's a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about 'Dogma.'
Alan Rickman
Image
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
