You do get really exhausted doing films. You work such long hours, and after a while, things can get out of perspective, just like if anyone's tired, things get on top of them.

When there's an adult person who's scaring you, you grow up pretty quickly.

A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.

Some things are just really difficult to do. That's what I find hard. 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.

It's about how you exist as a person in the world, and the idea that your work is more important than you as a person is a horrible, horrible message.

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.

Macbeth was the first play I ever read.

With Urban Secrets, I just really liked the idea of wandering around chatting to people.

There are some days when you don't feel like being 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.

Performing a one-man Macbeth feels like the greatest challenge.

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

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.

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.

Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
