On this page, you’ll find intriguing (according to the site author) excerpts from Alan Rickman’s diary.
These are selected fragments, not complete entries, not all the best, and obviously not all the most interesting. So, if you’re genuinely interested in Alan and his work, I recommend purchasing the full diary.
Even from these excerpts, you can glimpse how profound, sincere, kind, and caring Alan was. How dedicated he was to his work and how much it troubled him when someone approached it lightly or did something wrong.
I’m not idealizing Alan in any way, and here I will include statements that show another side of him as well (for instance, his feelings about children on airplanes or his intolerance of parents skipping the taxi queue with their kids, or his comments about Israel).
So, to delve deeper, it’s best to read the full diaries yourself.
