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

I realize that I am never going to grow up.

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

Though it may not seem like it, I never try to write about a place, per se; it's always, first and last, about story. Story is everything. Story and a bit of attitude.

It's like two years straight out of your life doing a film. It's very enjoyable, especially working with the guys, but I kind of like the idea of traveling and growing, and developing as a writer and as a filmmaker.

I hope there's some kind of morality in all my work.
