You exaggerate your own reactions.
Showing off seemed to me to be a highly valuable and necessary activity when I was 20.
I need a healthy injection of cynicism right now.
You know it's a sad day when your child looks at you and asks 'Daddy, are these organic?'
I do not walk around imaging myself to be intimidating or smart.
If I hadn't done this I might have ended up digging the roads.
Paper acts as an eraser on the mind, as soon as you look at what you've written.
The trend now is to get away from stage bound sitcoms.
We are both drawn to surreal situations so the writing was a joy.
I'm delighted to make as many people feel ashamed as possible. There's probably a site like that for everybody. I've heard Newt Gingrich has his own as well.
I'm really not big on nationalism, to be honest with you. I really don't think it gets people anywhere except near a pile of dead bodies. I'm Irish, yeah, but I don't need to get up on a soapbox about it.
I've been writing since I was very young, even before I was a teenager. As far as I'm concerned, I am a writer - whether my writing's spoken or written in a blog, paper, book or printed on the side of a submarine.
There's always a host of voices you're inspired by. I love Don DeLillo, and I love Isaac Bashevis Singer, and I love Beckett, and I love Pinter. He's one of the funniest voices in English literature since Dickens.
If you covered a broom handle with oil and shoved it up my arse, then put me on a trampoline, in a lift, I could write a better song on the walls.
