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.
