More quotes by 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
Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
Alan Cumming
I think American actors are much more intimidated by Shakespeare.
Alan Cumming
Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
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.

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 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
With Urban Secrets, I just really liked the idea of wandering around chatting to people.
Alan Cumming
I like working on things that are very different and that involve different disguises.
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.
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
I have no regrets in my life even the crazy things I've been in. It all made me the I am today and I wouldn't change anything. I'm happy with who I am!
Alan Cumming
I don't avoid anyone but I always think some people hate me.
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
Once in a while it's good to challenge yourself in a way that's really daunting.
Alan Cumming
I think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.
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
Performing a one-man Macbeth feels like the greatest challenge.

So the experts think we could have an AIDS-free generation in Africa by 2015, even if the mothers are positive.
