Alan Rickman

I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.

One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.

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.

It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.

I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.

I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

If only life could be a little more tender and art a little more robust.
