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.

It's exciting to be with really, really good people. Some people make you feel like you've got to up your game. Working with good people is always good.

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.

It's really rare for film directors to be that interested in things other than themselves.

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.

I think people deny themselves by putting themselves into categories.
Alan Cumming
Image
He ... knew, in that instant, that his life would not be an easy one-he was different, he looked different, he thought differently.

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
Image
It's interesting, for me sappy means sentimental and something that gets you in your heart, gets you emotional. That's what I mean. Also, of course, it means that I'm slightly setting up the audience that there's a bit of fun involved, as well.

I'm not a fan of Twitter.

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

Macbeth was the first play I ever read.

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

For example, Americans seem reluctant to take on Shakespeare because you don't think you're very good at it - which is rubbish. You're missing out here.

I love a film where I get squished by two dumpsters or I fly through the air.
