It doesn't feel like you're preaching, if you can say something in a joke.

My plays are always pushing towards cinema anyway. They're down and dirty, real and more fun.

I'd just like to thank everybody who was involved in the film, especially Brendan Gleeson and Ruaidhrí Conroy. And Ruaidhrí, I'm sorry that you couldn't be here tonight but I hope next time, if they let you into the country.

I don't feel I have to defend myself for being English or for being Irish, because, in a way, I don't feel either. And, in another way, of course, I'm both.

Theatre was an art form that I didn't really respect, and because I wanted to shake it up and do different things on stage, I was able to combine all the things I'd learnt through writing on my own.

I realize that I am never going to grow up.

If you've got time to waste, you might as well waste it listening to people.
