More quotes by Alan Cumming
Once in a while it's good to challenge yourself in a way that's really daunting.
Alan Cumming
Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
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
Macbeth was the first play I ever read.
Alan Cumming
When there's an adult person who's scaring you, you grow up pretty quickly.
Alan Cumming
I was so scared of going back to the theatre after Hamlet. I didn't know if I'd do a play again because I was afraid of the power of it.
Alan Cumming
I think American actors are much more intimidated by Shakespeare.
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
I think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.
Alan Cumming
In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.
Alan Cumming
Finally, the scariest thing about abuse of any shape or form, is, in my opinion, not the abuse itself, but that if it continues it can begin to feel commonplace and eventually acceptable.
Alan Cumming
It's about how you exist as a person in the world, and the idea that your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message. I always think about a little gay boy in Wisconsin or a little lesbian in Arkansas seeing someone like me, and if I cannot be open in my life, how on earth can they?
Alan Cumming
I usually can find a way to do a character to make it real and work. But sometimes it's a struggle sustaining that, because there's such a level of personal involvement and personal, physical, and emotional distraughtness.
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
Usually, there's a story I've told that leads up to why I'm singing the song. The whole concept of the show was about being authentic and connecting with these songs. The best way to do that was in a room with an audience and for people to listen to that.
Alan Cumming
A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.
Alan Cumming
Kids are more genuine. When they come up and want to talk to you, they don't have an agenda. It's more endearing and less piercing to your aura.
Alan Cumming
I like the tragedies way more than the comedies because they're so universal.
Alan Cumming
It's actually quite a good ethos for life: go into the unknown with truth, commitment, and openness and mostly you'll be okay.
Alan Cumming
It is not hard to feel like an outsider. I think we have all felt like that at one time or another.
