Alan Rickman Actors Quotations

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

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

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

All I want to see from an actor is the intensity and accuracy of their listening.

I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.

I think every English actor is nervous of a Newcastle accent.

Actors are actually very supportive of each other.

One of the most, in a weird way, encouraging things a director can say to an actor - I know this as an actor - is when you ask them a question, they say, I don't know - 'cause it means there's some space there for you to find out. And it means that there's going to be a process.

Parts win prizes, not actors.
