Alan Cumming
Be who you like as long as you mean it.
Alan Cumming
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
In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.
Alan Cumming
I like the tragedies way more than the comedies because they're so universal.
Alan Cumming
Pantomime is a big thing in the cultural calendar of my country, you know. So subtlety's not my forte.
