More quotes by Alan Rickman
I like it when stories are left open.
Alan Rickman
I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman
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.
Alan Rickman
Older people say, 'Oh I loved you in 'Sense and Sensibility,'' and that's the only film they want to talk about. Equally, there are people who only want to talk about 'Galaxy Quest.' And there's a whole bunch of teenagers who only want to talk about 'Dogma.'
Alan Rickman
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
Alan Rickman
So you can't judge the character you're playing ever.
Alan Rickman
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
You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
Alan Rickman
If you spend any time in Los Angeles, there's only one topic of conversation.
Alan Rickman
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
Alan Rickman
On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.
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
A wounding tongue. I'm working on it. Perhaps its the Celt in me.
Alan Rickman
I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.
Alan Rickman
I love working in New York theater.
Alan Rickman
Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
Alan Rickman
If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
Alan Rickman
I never expected to have any kind of film career, to be honest. It was all a bit of a surprise. But I was in a big hit play on Broadway. America, as many people will say, says yes more often than we do. And so I was suddenly surrounded by people saying yes. But I was aware that was 'cause of what I was in. It had a big impact.
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
All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
