More quotes by Alan Rickman
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
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 longs for a director with a sense of imagination.
Alan Rickman
You know, London is so sprawling, and you can sometimes forget that anybody else is on a stage anywhere else.
Alan Rickman
Parts win prizes, not actors.
Alan Rickman
Each character I play has different dimensions. I'm not interested in words that pull them together.
Alan Rickman
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
Alan Rickman
The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.
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 want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
Alan Rickman
Somebody with Debbie Reynolds' features doesn't get cast as the Wicked Witch.
Alan Rickman
Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.
Alan Rickman
What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
Alan Rickman
I love working in New York theater.
Alan Rickman
Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.
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 think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.
Alan Rickman
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
There's, like, marks next to an actor's name or something, and boy does that go up and down! Somewhere in there, which always causes my mate Miss Ruby Wax great hilarity, I was offered a biopic of Frank Sinatra. Even I knew that was a bad idea! They'll throw anything at you at certain times. So, you know, to thine own self be true.
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.
