Irish people are educated not only about artistry but local history.

I loathe bad theater and most theatre is very bad because its repetitious, unexciting and, dangerously, it is sometimes praised for those things.

I find it incredibly tedious, hate that it murders itself with its own conservative pomposity.

There's something about the Irish that is remarkable.

I just think that things should be allowed to run their course, and not turned into a Disney ride.

A lot of Irish people perform. They perform in drawing rooms. They sing songs and they play piano.

I would say the next imminent hot writers are often the writers from the decade before you were born.
