I would love to write the story of my upbringing in Ireland.
Even when they have nothing, the Irish emit a kind of happiness, a joy.
Acting doesn't have to be threadbare misery all the time.
I would say the next imminent hot writers are often the writers from the decade before you were born.
One moment cannot be the most important.
I once saw my mother playing Mary Magdalene in a parish event. But she had to put the role aside in order to go and front the choir who were singing at the same occasion. She left the stage halfway through the Crucifixion.
