It is a gift, a privilege – you’re working with a great friend. We’ve acted together and I’ve directed her, as well. But its not like putting on a slipper, there’s a challenge involved because she’s an artist and she’s a brain and she’s a will and she’s a power and a force and that’s all very challenging, but that’s what I like. - Alan Rickman on working with Emma Thompson.

Favorite Actors: Kate Winslet

“Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.”-Kate Winslet

She’s seriously one of my favorite actresses. That last gif though hahaha.

MY TWO FAVORITE ACTORS

Alan is seriously at his hottest in this movie, where he (for once) isn’t playing a villan. So much love.

Totally Fabulous Ladies I Adore and Admire: Maggie Smith

“It’s true I don’t tolerate fools, but then they don’t tolerate me, so I am spiky. Maybe that’s why I’m quite good at playing spiky elderly ladies.”
