More quotes by 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 actually quite a good ethos for life: go into the unknown with truth, commitment, and openness and mostly you'll be okay.
Alan Cumming
Actually I like working kind of fast, because if you got it, why bother doing it over and over?
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
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
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
Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
Alan Cumming

Alan Cumming
I'm not a fan of Twitter.
Alan Cumming
The thing with film and theater is that you always know the story so you can play certain cues in each scene with the knowledge that you know where the story's going to end and how it's going to go. But on television nobody knows what's going to happen, even the writers.
Alan Cumming
I'm quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.
Alan Cumming
Once in a while it's good to challenge yourself in a way that's really daunting.
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.
Alan Cumming
You'll see Dame Judi Dench in a Bond film, in Shakespeare and then starring in her own sitcom. You never see that here with Meryl Streep.
Alan Cumming
Macbeth was the first play I ever read.
Alan Cumming
Sometimes people do you a favour when they drop out of your life.
Alan Cumming
A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.
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
In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.
