Happy 67th birthday, Alan Rickman! [Feb.21]

“I’m never really looking for anything. I’m looking to be surprised and to have one’s instincts engaged with a piece of writing rather than anything planned. I think if you make decisions before you read something, then you’re not free. I’d much rather just turn page one and start to get a flavor of a character. That’s what an actor is, I think. You’re a bundle of instincts that you fling at something called training, and you hope training orders it a bit for you so that you can make choices, but ultimately you’re dependent on your instincts and your imagination, and that’s something you can’t pin down.”

Alan Rickman Blurb for Empire Magazine’s Harry Potter Celebration

There wasn’t a new photo session with Alan but he did write the blurb on the back and I thought I would share it

This reminds me so much of Ian McKellen complaining about the hobbits’ choice of music!
