Alan Cumming
When there's an adult person who's scaring you, you grow up pretty quickly.
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
I'm quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.
Alan Cumming
