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.

More quotes by 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
If you are a cabaret artist and you are mostly singing other people's songs, you're asking them to rethink a song, listen to it in a different way. The most impact you can have while asking them to re-listen to a song is if it's a song they know very well.
Alan Cumming
I'm Scottish first, and it's odd to hear that I'm a Scottish-American.
Alan Cumming
In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.
Alan Cumming
Sometimes people do you a favour when they drop out of your life.
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 think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.
Alan Cumming
I like working on things that are very different and that involve different disguises.
Alan Cumming
I'm not a fan of Twitter.
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
I was so scared of going back to the theatre after Hamlet. I didn't know if I'd do a play again because I was afraid of the power of it.
Alan Cumming
Once in a while it's good to challenge yourself in a way that's really daunting.
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
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
He ... knew, in that instant, that his life would not be an easy one-he was different, he looked different, he thought differently.
Alan Cumming
A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.
Alan Cumming
Macbeth was the first play I ever read.
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
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 quite good, though I say it myself, at making strangers feel at ease.
