Synopsis

A magical concoction of the mischievous, tender, whimsical, and debauched real-life adventures of Alan Cumming, told in his own words and pictures.Described by the New York Times as “a bawdy countercultural sprite” and named one of the most fun people in show business by Time magazine, Alan Cumming is a genuine quadruple threat—an internationally acclaimed, award-winning star of stage, television, and film, as well as a New York Times best-selling author whose real-life vivacity, wit, and charm shine through every page of his third book, You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams. In these forty-five picture essays, Cumming recounts his real-life adventures (and often, misadventures), illustrated by his own equally entertaining photographs. From an awkward bonding session with Elizabeth Taylor to poignant stories about his family and friends to some harsh words of wisdom imparted by Oprah that make up the title of this collection, You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams is as eclectic, enchanting, and alive as its author.

I really enjoyed Alan Cumming's previous book, "Not My Father's Son", and when I got tickets to hear him speak, I felt I should read his new book, too. This book is much more anecdotal and filled with small snippets of his life as an actor/singer/activist, not as deep of moving as his other book. St......more

Goodreads review by Erin on September 15, 2016

Alan Cumming lives his life openly and unapologetic which, frankly, sort of seems like he'd be intolerable IRL, but his experiences make for really entertaining and thoughtful books.......more

Goodreads review by Nadia on May 29, 2016

I LOVED this! Alan Cumming has a bright starry way and not only because he's a rock star of the arts. He shows that being vulnerable and authentic is part of the life adventure. He's funny (of course) candid and oh so cheeky :)) A real treat to read and if you haven't started following him on instagr......more
