Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
Alan Cumming
Image
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
Image
Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?

Image
I'm Scottish first, and it's odd to hear that I'm a Scottish-American.
