More quotes by Alan Cumming
When there's an adult person who's scaring you, you grow up pretty quickly.
Alan Cumming
I like working on things that are very different and that involve different disguises.
Alan Cumming
Romeo is the most misunderstood character in literature, I think. He's hardcore to play because he's displaying the characteristics of Hamlet at the beginning, and, well, then everything else happens.
Alan Cumming
I think American actors are much more intimidated by Shakespeare.
Alan Cumming
I don't avoid anyone but I always think some people hate 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
There are some days when you don't feel like being Alan Cumming.
Alan Cumming
So the experts think we could have an AIDS-free generation in Africa by 2015, even if the mothers are positive.

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.
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
Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
Alan Cumming
I'm not a fan of Twitter.
Alan Cumming
Sometimes people do you a favour when they drop out of your life.
Alan Cumming
I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.
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 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
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 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
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
Pantomime is a big thing in the cultural calendar of my country, you know. So subtlety's not my forte.
