I might be a party-pooper destroying the touching "Chicken Soup" significance of this utterance, but this is the speech that issued from me upon finding this quote posted in another journal:
Do you know that moment when you paint a landscape as a child and, when you're maybe under seven or something, the sky is just a blue stripe across the top of the paper? And then there's that somewhat disappointing moment when the teacher tells you that the sky actually comes down in amongst all the branches. And it's like life changes at that moment and becomes much more complicated and a little bit more boring, as it's rather tedious to fill in the branches. (Alan Rickman)
"Well, clearly Alan Rickman has not done much painting, because what do you is paint in the whole sky, and then put in the branches over it. You paint from the back to the front. Pick up a paintbrush, or shut your mouth, Mr. Rickman.
"That's right, you just heard a woman tell Alan Rickman to shut his mouth.
"Actually, so long as he doesn't become that guy who paints happy little bushes, I'm okay with it. Just don't be that guy."
