Alan Cumming (The Good Wife, Instinct, Cabaret, MacBeth) and I do an unconventional podcast.

I give him RANDOM sayings. He RUNS with them.

Alan Cumming has an FAQ page on his website. That's because he's been interviewed soooo many times and he's done with the same ol' questions. That's actually perfect for me because I can't stand same ol' questions.

But!

Alan Cumming has done so many things (mastered theater, won a Tony, starred in hit TV series like The Good Wife -- he played Eli Gold -- and now Instinct, starred in everything from Doctor Who to Sex and the City and Spy Kids, co-hosted the Tonys, made albums, received 40+ awards for his humanitarianism, got 3 honorary degrees, holy moly, the list goes on!) that I felt overwhelmed. Where was I going to go with this interview?

Then it hit me!

Proverbs.

Listen now and you'll know exactly what I mean.

And off we go!
