Alan Cumming
Performing a one-man Macbeth feels like the greatest challenge.
Alan Cumming
I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected to it, more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.

Alan Cumming
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.
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
There are some days when you don't feel like being Alan Cumming.
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
So the experts think we could have an AIDS-free generation in Africa by 2015, even if the mothers are positive.
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.
