“I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected ...” — Alan Cumming Quote

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.

I think American actors are much more intimidated by Shakespeare.

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.
