My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.

Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.

If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.

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.

When I am asked about influences, I always say I bow down to Fred Astaire, because when you look at him dancing you never look at his extremities, do you? You look at his centre. What you never see is the hours of work that went into the routines, you just see the breathtaking spirit and freedom.

On film you put all your energies into a single glance.

My definition of palatable might be slightly different from yours.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.

Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.

I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.

One thing I will say - my job gets harder and harder. The more you understand about what you are capable of, the less the instrument can do it physically. It's an inverse equation, if that's the right phrase. I just slammed those two words together. It sounded right.

I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman

Actors are actually very supportive of each other.
Alan Rickman
Image
A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.
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

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

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.

Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

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.

Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.
