I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
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?

Image
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.

Image
Market forces impose certain rules before a film can actually get made.
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
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.

Image
The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic the actor doesn't.
Alan Rickman
Image
When I get off the plane in England I always feel about two inches shorter.
Alan Rickman
Image
I don't think it's right that everybody knows everything about me.
Alan Rickman
Image
There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
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.
