More quotes by Alan Rickman
I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.
Alan Rickman
Being on the stage in New York is always exciting because you feel like you're part of the life of the city.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
Alan Rickman
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
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
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
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
Alan Rickman
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
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 think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
Alan Rickman
The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic the actor doesn't.
