More quotes by Alan Cumming
Macbeth was the first play I ever read.
Alan Cumming
Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
Alan Cumming
My feeling about work is it's much more about the experience of doing it than the end product. Sometimes things that are really great and make lots of money are miserable to make, and vice versa.
Alan Cumming
Be who you like as long as you mean it.
Alan Cumming
There are some days when you don't feel like being Alan Cumming.
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 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 don't avoid anyone but I always think some people hate me.
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
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
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 think directing in a team is a really good idea because it stops the cult of the director as God straight away, and also you're discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone who supports you when you're feeling a bit insecure.
Alan Cumming
Sometimes people do you a favour when they drop out of your life.
Alan Cumming
With Urban Secrets, I just really liked the idea of wandering around chatting to people.
Alan Cumming
I'm quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.
Alan Cumming
I'm Scottish first, and it's odd to hear that I'm a Scottish-American.
Alan Cumming
I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.
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 think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.
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
