| | |  Alan Rickman talks Snape & J.K. Rowling
While promoting his upcoming feature Nobel Son, actor Alan Rickman evades discussion on whether or not his character Severus Snape is 'bad' and praises J.K. Rowling as a writer and storyteller: Quote: It just seems like you’re so well known here for the bad parts -- for Snape or the Sheriff of Nottingham.
ALAN RICKMAN: Is Snape bad?
Well, ultimately obviously not.
ALAN RICKMAN: I didn’t say anything.
But you don’t know that until the last book.
ALAN RICKMAN: So therefore you just said ‘bad’ like—
Well, he does not appear to be tremendously likable, at least through Harry’s eyes, for most of the time.
ALAN RICKMAN: So your point is? (giggles) No. Look, I don’t judge characters anyway for anything. I just get on and play them. And if you were sitting inside my skin, and I can’t sit inside yours or deny what you’re saying because that’s your perception. But if you were sitting in my skin, you’d look at the work you’ve done and go, ‘Well, wait a minute…. Look at all of those against those.’ And it’s just that some of them get a lot of publicity. That’s all.
The one thing they all have in common though is they’re all complex characters.
ALAN RICKMAN: I hope so. I hope they live through three dimensions. I resist the labeling, that’s all, because I think it’s too easy to do that to characters and stories. Wrap them up. I like it when stories are left open. That’s what I like about Jo Rowling as a storyteller, it’s full of possibilities.

He's so amazing. I can't wait to see him in Deathly Hallows. He is such a great actor. Now that I think of it, he's pretty much my favorite next to Gary Oldman. I know that The Prince's Tale will be one of my favorite parts in the last movie all because of him. I love him, jeez!  |

Interesting interview. Does he seem a bit arrogant? Alan Rickman has always had that air about him. He's actually a PERFECT Snape. Just my thoughts. What do you guys think? | |

Very interesting interview. Some of the things he said made perfect sense. He's such a great Snape. And it was completely lovely what he said of JK Rowling's writing ability.

they better do "a princes tale" well. that's one of the best chapters in the entire series. the amount of information you find out in that chapter is amazing.  | |

Interesting interview. I love how he likes to leave people in the dark XD
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
