More quotes by 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
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.
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.
Alan Rickman
If you judge the character, you cant play it.
Alan Rickman
I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.
Alan Rickman
Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.
Alan Rickman
I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.
Alan Rickman
Los Angeles is not a town full of airheads. There's a great deal of wonderful energy there.
Alan Rickman
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
Alan Rickman
The directors you trust the most are the ones, when you ask them a question, they've got the guts to say, 'I don't know.'
Alan Rickman
You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.
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
I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
Alan Rickman
I have a photograph at home of Fred Astaire from the knees down with his feet crossed. It's kind of inspiring because it reminds me his feet were bleeding at the end of rehearsals. Yet when you watch him, all you see is freedom. It's a reminder of what the job is about in general, not just being in musicals.
Alan Rickman
Give me a window and I'll stare out it.
Alan Rickman
Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I'm not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
Alan Rickman
I love working in New York theater.
Alan Rickman
I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.
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
All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.
Alan Rickman
