More quotes by Alan Cumming
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
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
I think American actors are much more intimidated by Shakespeare.
Alan Cumming
You should *have* an experience it shouldn't just *be* an experience.
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
It is not hard to feel like an outsider. I think we have all felt like that at one time or another.
Alan Cumming
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.
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.
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 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'm quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.
Alan Cumming
There are some days when you don't feel like being Alan Cumming.
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
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
Macbeth was the first play I ever read.
Alan Cumming
Performing a one-man Macbeth feels like the greatest challenge.
Alan Cumming
If you are a cabaret artist and you are mostly singing other people's songs, you're asking them to rethink a song, listen to it in a different way. The most impact you can have while asking them to re-listen to a song is if it's a song they know very well.
Alan Cumming
Be who you like as long as you mean it.
Alan Cumming
A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.
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
