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.
Emma Thompson: Remember this was the night when we were all up? We were up for three nights shooting this. It was a three-night shoot and everybody was ill. Kate got phlebitis in one of her legs and then she fell down the stairs. I had conjunctivitis.
Lindsay Doran: And Alan didn’t have to work so he kept sending candies.
[We were] trying to create a sense of real mystery around that man. Not that you need to, really, with Alan playing it ‘cause he’d be mysterious playing a milkman. - Emma Thompson
