More quotes by Alan Cumming
I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.
Alan Cumming
I don't feel I'm a compulsive person. I multitask. I'm really well-organised, and I have lots of people to help me.
Alan Cumming
He ... knew, in that instant, that his life would not be an easy one-he was different, he looked different, he thought differently.
Alan Cumming
Romeo is the most misunderstood character in literature, I think. He's hardcore to play because he's displaying the characteristics of Hamlet at the beginning, and, well, then everything else happens.
Alan Cumming
It's interesting, for me sappy means sentimental and something that gets you in your heart, gets you emotional. That's what I mean. Also, of course, it means that I'm slightly setting up the audience that there's a bit of fun involved, as well.
Alan Cumming
So the experts think we could have an AIDS-free generation in Africa by 2015, even if the mothers are positive.
Alan Cumming
My mum always told me I was precious, while my dad always told me I was worthless. I think that's a good grounding for a balanced life.

The thing with film and theater is that you always know the story so you can play certain cues in each scene with the knowledge that you know where the story's going to end and how it's going to go. But on television nobody knows what's going to happen, even the writers.
Alan Cumming
It's exciting to be with really, really good people. Some people make you feel like you've got to up your game. Working with good people is always good.
Alan Cumming
When there's an adult person who's scaring you, you grow up pretty quickly.
Alan Cumming
I had to be a grown-up when I should have been a little boy, and now that I'm a grown-up my little-boyness has exploded out of me. I've lived my life backwards.
Alan Cumming
I have no regrets in my life even the crazy things I've been in. It all made me the I am today and I wouldn't change anything. I'm happy with who I am!
Alan Cumming
Pantomime is a big thing in the cultural calendar of my country, you know. So subtlety's not my forte.
Alan Cumming
Actors aren't stupid, mostly, and if there's a sensibility and an aesthetic that a director's going for, if you're aware of that too, you can do things to help that.
Alan Cumming
When you're on TV, you come into people's homes. In theater and film, they go to you - to the temple of the cinema or theater. And it's very different.
Alan Cumming
It is not hard to feel like an outsider. I think we have all felt like that at one time or another.
Alan Cumming
A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.
Alan Cumming
Nowadays people don't know how to handle it if all the ends aren't tied up and they're not told what to think in films. And if they're challenged, they think it's something wrong with the film.
Alan Cumming
I started to itch to do a play again and 'Macbeth' came to the surface in my mind. I never thought I would do it in a conventional way. A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.
Alan Cumming
I think American actors are much more intimidated by Shakespeare.
