Alan Rickman Thoughts

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.

I'm still living the life where you get home and open the fridge and there's half a pot of yogurt and a half a can of flat Coca-Cola.

I can only see my limitations. That's just who I am.

Those of you who are not aware of my brilliant career as a stand up comic, I'm not aware of it either so we might well wonder what we're doing here.

Mellow doesn't describe me. I'm hungry every day.

If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.

The difference between being an actor and a director is simple. The director has to hide his panic; the actor doesn't.

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.

I get stage fright and gremlins in my head saying: 'You're going to forget your lines'.

The audience should feel like voyeurs. Their response is absolutely crucial.
