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

Macbeth was the first play I ever read.

Once in a while it's good to challenge yourself in a way that's really daunting.

I started to itch to do a play again and 'Macbeth' came to the surface in my mind. I never thought I would do it in a conventional way. A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn't interest me.

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

I like the tragedies way more than the comedies because they're so universal.
