If you could build a house on a trampoline, that would suit me fine.
From Alan Rickman
My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.
Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.
There's a voice inside you that tells you what you should do.
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?
I knew with Snape I was working as a double agent, as it turns out, and a very good one at that.
And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.
Any actor who judges his character is a fool - for every role you play you've got to absorb that character's motives and justifications.
I suppose with any good writing and interesting characters, you can have that awfully overused word: a journey.
I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.
