Alan Rickman

“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.”

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

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

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

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

“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.”

“One longs for a director with a sense of imagination.”

“I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.”
