Here are great quotes from Alan Rickman.

“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.” ― Alan Rickman

“Do you know that moment when you paint a landscape as a child and, when you’re maybe under seven or something, the sky is just a blue stripe across the top of the paper? And then there’s that somewhat disappointing moment when the teacher tells you that the sky actually comes down in amongst all the branches. And it’s like life changes at that moment and becomes much more complicated and a little bit more boring, as it’s rather tedious to fill in the branches…”― Alan Rickman

“Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theatre, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.” ― Alan Rickman

“When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, ‘After all this time?’ And I will say, ‘Always.” ― Alan Rickman

“Mellow doesn’t describe me. I’m hungry every day.” ― Alan Rickman

“Unless we tell stories about ourselves, which is all that theater is, we’re in deep trouble. It’s an age-old human need. The lights go down, our thumbs go in our mouths, and someone says, “Once upon a time.” And we believe it.” ― Alan Rickman

“I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.” ― Alan Rickman
