The Good Wife's Alan Cumming on his acting journey ahead of Listowel Writer's Week

Q: You broke through in the Scottish sitcom The High Life, 23 years ago. It has been quite a journey from there; did you think you would achieve such success as an actor, singer and writer?
A: Absolutely not. My ambition when I was a drama student was to work at the Citizens’ Theatre in Glasgow — I still haven’t! I thought maybe one day I might move down to London, but really, the thought of America, of Hollywood and Broadway, was never even remotely on my radar.
