I go to a lot, but rarely do they have a sense of purpose as this one does [about environmental change]. They said I could choose one of my films, and it was so nice to see The Anniversary Partyagain.
Jennifer and I were both in Cabaret in ’98 and made the film Titus, but we didn’t actually work together that much, so we kept in touch and started saying, “Why don’t we make a film?” We wrote it for specific actors — it was amazing to know who was going to play the parts. It’s one of those golden projects where there’s no bad part of getting it ma...
I did it first in London and we made it into a [1993 U.K. TV] film. I felt it should be this more realistic depiction of what [1930s German] clubs were like, and luckily that’s the way the director was thinking too. So I did it in London, and then it went to Broadway. It was sort of the perfect storm. I was in a really good place in my life, very c...
I was 28 when I did it first, then 33 when I did it on Broadway, and then 49/50 the last time. Nooo! I think it’d be really weird if I was 66. That’d be terrible! [Laughs]
That was the first film I made in America, the first time I played an American. I have no idea why they cast me. It makes no sense whatsoever. [Laughs] I came to Hollywood and was sort of the “new boy”— Circle of Friends [with Minnie Driver] was my first film seen here — and I pushed to be in it. But I was so green, I didn’t know what a prom was! W...
I did a play in Scotland that transferred to London, so I stayed there for 10 years. Then an Irish film I made came to America and I got asked to come here. It wasn’t calculated. I feel like I tumbled through life a bit, but if you’re open to things, it usually works out quite well.
I’ve always made a lot of my own work. I used to do a stand-up comedy thing with another boy. I do concerts. I think it’s healthy — you’re not relying on other people hiring you. And it’s fascinating to find out what you want to say that’s you. The fragrance, Cumming, was sort of an art experiment. I wanted to parody celebrity endorsements, but at ...
It was sort of an accident. I used to do Club Cumming parties after my concerts. I’d deejay, my band would play, I’d get guests. It was such fun. We just celebrated our two-year anniversary. It’s got cabaret, comedy, singing, readings, jazz. I love that it’s a place where anything can happen.
No, but if I had a gun to my head I’d choose theater, because of the immediacy of the connection you get with the audience. I’m doing a play in London, Endgame with Daniel Radcliffe, until the end of March, and then [the USA Network series] Briarpatchis on.
We met through friends in New York. He’s lovely, kind and hilarious, but he’s also the first person who hasn’t wanted to change me. We respect each other and we were a bit older when we met, so you know yourself more and are more respectful.
