Q: You’ve had a remarkable long-term relationship — I believe you and Rima Horton have been together for around 40 years. Why didn’t you get married, and how have you managed to maintain your relationship?

AR: You know, those are very personal questions… and perhaps the answer is that I don’t answer them. [laughs]

Rickman really said: boundary set. politely. permanently.

And I do find it interesting how, even now, people still build entire narratives around something he consistently chose to keep private — in every direction.

Some things were simply never meant to be public canon.

All credit goes to the original photographers and respective sources. Shared for archival and appreciation purposes.
