I Don't Avoid Anyone But I Always

I Think People Deny Themselves By Putting Themselves Into Categories.

There Are Some Days When You Don't Feel Like Being Alan Cumming.

Often For Me, If I Hear A Song I Know, It Clicks For Me And I Hear It In A Different Way And I Think, "i Could Sing That Song. I've Got Something To Say About That Song. Wanting To Connect With An Audience And Wanting Them To Rethink Songs; It Is Actually Important To Do Songs They're Familiar With. Also, I Love Those Songs. In A Way, I Think I've Changed People's Perceptions Of What A Cabaret Show Like This Could Be.

I Think American Actors Are Much More Intimidated By Shakespeare. I Actually Want To Do This Shakespeare Play In New York, But I Think It's Interesting That There's This Gaping Hole In The Repertoire In The American Theater, Which Is Shakespeare. It's Hardly Ever Done, Compared To How Often It's Done In Other Companies, Not Just Britain. Someone From The Roundabout Theater Company - I Said, "you Never Do Shakespeare." And He Said, "yes, We're Not Very Good At It." And I Thought, "what A Terrible Thing To Say.".

I've Actually Found - Especially Doing My Cabaret Show - I'm Connecting With People In A Way I Haven't Connected With Them. I've Found That When You're Open And Honest, People Respond To That, Whatever You're Being Open And Honest About. You Could Then, When You Lay That As The Groundwork, Say, "here I Am. This Is What I Think. I Come In Peace." Then You're Able To Push Out, To Be Able To Talk About More Things. And That's Been A Really Heartening Thing About My Life, Actually.
