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

I think you can be as big as you like as long as you mean it. I really do.

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 don't feel I'm a compulsive person. I multitask. I'm really well-organised, and I have lots of people to help me.

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.

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