Described by Time magazine as one of the most fun people in show business, Alan Cumming is an award-winning stage, television, and film actor, as well as an artist, writer, activist, photographer, and raconteur.

In You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams: My Life is Stories and Pictures, the man-about-town shares forty-five wildly entertaining real-life stories of late-night parties, backstage anecdotes, life in LA and New York, cross-country road trips with his beloved dog, Honey, and poignant memories of his life, loves, family, fellow actors, and friends.

This volume, illustrated by Cumming’s own photographs, relates encounters that only Cumming could experience, from awkwardly entertaining Elizabeth Taylor at Carrie Fisher’s birthday party to discussing love and sex with Gore Vidal.

Cumming has won an Olivier award for his work on the London stage, and a Tony for his work on Broadway; he appeared in all seven seasons of CBS’ The Good Wife for which he received multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. He is currently touring a cabaret show, Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs, and recently released an album of the same name. He is the author of the novel Tommy’s Tale and the #1 New York Times best-selling memoir, Not My Father’s Son. In conversation with Ari Shapiro, a co-host of All Things Considered, NPR’s award-winning afternoon newsmagazine.
