It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

More quotes by Alan Rickman
England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said it was phenomenally exciting, musically.
Alan Rickman
If you judge the character, you cant play it.
Alan Rickman
I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.
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
You can act truthfully or you can lie. You can reveal things about yourself or you can hide. Therefore, the audience recognizes something about themselves or they don't -- You hope they don't leave the theatre thinking that was nice...now where's the cab?'
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 think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.
Alan Rickman
Why don't I like you? Because you think I'm an asshole, and I'm not really, I'm just British and, well, you're not.
Alan Rickman
I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
Alan Rickman
I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
Alan Rickman
What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.
Alan Rickman
My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.
Alan Rickman
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.
Alan Rickman
I always feel that when I come to Edinburgh, in many ways I am coming home.
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
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
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
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
