More quotes by Alan Rickman
I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.
Alan Rickman
Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.
Alan Rickman
I think the thing about film is, as it gets proved by a lot of young filmmakers now, that the medium will just go on reinventing itself, and so you just hope to be a part of that and not a part of some kind of endless regurgitation or 'Here I am doing what you know I do' kind of thing.
Alan Rickman
I approach every part I'm asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn't get it, or if he does?
Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
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
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
Alan Rickman
I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.
Alan Rickman
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
I don't play villains, I play very interesting people
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
Alan Rickman
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
Alan Rickman
I am hellbent on defying your expectations, at every turn, and even if you don't like what's being done, I dare you to find it uninteresting.
Alan Rickman
I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.
Alan Rickman
Parts win prizes, not actors.
Alan Rickman
If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
Alan Rickman
I've learned, having been on a lot of sets, the good news is that by definition you are surrounded by experts. They get fired if they're not - unlike in the theatre!
Alan Rickman
One of the most, in a weird way, encouraging things a director can say to an actor - I know this as an actor - is when you ask them a question, they say, I don't know - 'cause it means there's some space there for you to find out. And it means that there's going to be a process.
Alan Rickman
