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
Image
It is not hard to feel like an outsider. I think we have all felt like that at one time or another.
Alan Cumming
Image
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
Image
I like working on things that are very different and that involve different disguises.
Alan Cumming
Image
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
Image
For example, Americans seem reluctant to take on Shakespeare because you don't think you're very good at it - which is rubbish. You're missing out here.

There are some days when you don't feel like being Alan Cumming.
Alan Cumming
Image
Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?
Alan Cumming
Image
It's really rare for film directors to be that interested in things other than themselves.
Alan Cumming
Image
I'm Scottish first, and it's odd to hear that I'm a Scottish-American.
Alan Cumming
Image
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

You should *have* an experience it shouldn't just *be* an experience.
Alan Cumming
Image
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
Image
I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.
Alan Cumming
Image
I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected to it, more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.
Alan Cumming
Image
I think directing in a team is a really good idea because it stops the cult of the director as God straight away, and also you're discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone who supports you when you're feeling a bit insecure.
Alan Cumming
Image
You do get really exhausted doing films. You work such long hours, and after a while, things can get out of perspective, just like if anyone's tired, things get on top of them.
Alan Cumming
Image
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
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.

A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.
