Alan Cumming
I don't avoid anyone but I always think some people hate me.

Alan Cumming
With Urban Secrets, I just really liked the idea of wandering around chatting to people.
Alan Cumming
I was horrified when Richard Chamberlain and Rupert Everett said gay actors should stay in the closet. They were saying to people that they should live a lie and not be liberated, to live in fear of being found out.
Alan Cumming
I like the tragedies way more than the comedies because they're so universal.
Alan Cumming
