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

It's the periods and the commas that you have to forget about. The words never change, but the intonations change.

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.

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

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

The fact that ticket prices are way too expensive, and there's only one bunch of people going to see Broadway shows, is something I've never liked.

I never really tell anyone what I'm writing beforehand because I usually don't know what it will be.
