Alan Cumming's quotes

Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
I love a film where I get squished by two Dumpsters or I fly through the air.
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.
[on therapy] It's like a workout for the mind.
[on why he feels well-suited to play Salvador Dali] We share a bonkers gene.
[on Scottish independence] The Better Together campaign is really like ferrets in a sack. Their backs are against the wall. The fear has not been working, the Scottish people are sick and tired of being patronised.
(Why he left Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark) "Because it just fucked me about. It kept getting delayed and delayed, and so I was like, 'OK, time to move on.'"
(On leaving Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark) "My GOD, that was a lucky escape. Jesus Christ! Talk about dodging a bullet there!"
"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".
