Alan Rickman: Snape an "insecure" person
 
In a new interview with the Brisbane Times Alan Rickman has briefly spoken about his opinion on Severus Snape - something which is quite a rarity given his reluctance to discuss Harry Potter.

Quote:

In all this time, we have barely mentioned Harry Potter. Rickman always avoids it - "I don't want to play with something that has to do with children's innocence" is a typical riposte - but it is the boy wizard who has given him enough leverage to get films such as Snow Cake made. And, of course, he likes playing the professor of potions, whom he sees as "quite an insecure person, always longing to be something else that people will really respect".

"At this point, it's good to have done something for children," he says. "I like the fact it's persuaded children to read. If I'm going to be working when I'm 80, I need them as my audience."

Bahah I will watch him when he is 80!!!! I love Alan Rickman! He is a amazing actor.

Nice Interview!!

Rickman always struck me as a really good guy. It's nice that he thinks about his audience and enjoys his job.

And... well, of course Snape is insecure, lol. I never knew that wasn't a given.

Samia 08-06-2007 04:05 PM

Lol he is a cool person!!

Mrs Felton 08-06-2007 04:07 PM

I agree with him, Snape is definitely an insecure person!! Alan seems such a fantastic guy.

Katieluff 08-06-2007 04:15 PM

Alan Rickman is hott ... wait, that's not the point.

I don't understand why he doesn't like talking about HP =/

Libbi_Granger 08-06-2007 04:20 PM

Well he was the one actor who was given extensive character notes by J.K.Rowling, so pre-Deathly Hallows it would have been easier to just not go there in interviews.

Alan is a wise man. He knows it´s not good to say anything about kids´ favs. On the other hand, he doesn´t seem to care about the wrath of the grown women :lol:

AllieFelton 08-06-2007 04:34 PM

Alan is soooo right about snape and all
I simply adore him

Ghidighici 08-06-2007 05:04 PM

Seems like he actually understands Severus Snape...which really explains why he is so good for the part. :yes:

Hermione-is-the-best 08-06-2007 05:09 PM

I love how he portryas (spelling, will I ever get it right?) Snape!!! He's so so so perfect, and I will most definately be watching him when he is 80!!

griffin_girl 08-06-2007 05:37 PM

*giggles madly*

It's not really that much of a children's book anymore, though! If you look deeper, it has political stuff in it too...so...:whistle:

TonksNymphadora 08-06-2007 05:44 PM

I love Alan Rickman in all the characters he plays. I still laugh every time I think of the robot in Hitchhiker's Guide to the GAlaxy...he slays me....:hack:!!!! I love him!:heart2:

Zoe 08-06-2007 05:45 PM

:lol: Alan rocks! Nice interview.

Hermione J.G. Potter 08-06-2007 07:19 PM

Haha, He is Snape!

lyra_eve 08-06-2007 07:54 PM

I love Alan Rickman.
His voice is soooooo amazing. lol.

He seems like such a good guy. He is relly proud of doing something for children.

:)

Loki 08-06-2007 07:58 PM

I love Alan Rickman. He is such an amazing actor <3

laudienne 08-06-2007 09:35 PM

I kind of like that he doesn't normally speak of Snape and HP in general. It makes it easier to see him as other characters I think, and it keeps up Snape's hard edge in the films. It's like how Jason Isaacs says he doesn't reply to fan mail so that kids still think he's a cold guy like Lucius, :lol:

slythringurl04 08-06-2007 10:01 PM

haha..what a great guy! I will still love him when he's 80!

brasce_the_traitor 08-06-2007 10:14 PM

Hes cool...alot of people agree that hes one of the best actors in the movies....i cant forget him from the PoA commercials, but ill definitely watch him when hes 80. Hes just that good!

prettyinpink 08-06-2007 10:54 PM

LuvRac 08-06-2007 11:28 PM
