More quotes by 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
There are some days when you don't feel like being Alan Cumming.
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
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'm quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.
Alan Cumming
With Urban Secrets, I just really liked the idea of wandering around chatting to people.

Pantomime is a big thing in the cultural calendar of my country, you know. So subtlety's not my forte.

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.

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
I'm not a fan of Twitter.
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
I like working on things that are very different and that involve different disguises.
Alan Cumming
I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.
Alan Cumming
Be who you like as long as you mean it.
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
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
Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?
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
When there's an adult person who's scaring you, you grow up pretty quickly.
Alan Cumming
Some things are just really difficult to do. That's what I find hard. 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.
