I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
Image
I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.
Alan Rickman
Image
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
Image
That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.
Alan Rickman
Image
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?

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'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman

My parents certainly didn't have anything to do with the theater. I'm some kind of accident.
Alan Rickman
Image
In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months.
Alan Rickman
Image
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time.
Alan Rickman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
Alan Rickman
Image
I am the character you are not supposed to like.
Alan Rickman
Image
I think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.
Alan Rickman
Image
The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.
Alan Rickman
Image
I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
