The East is very mysterious to Westerners. Even post-Cold War, it's still an unknown entity.

You know what you are? You're a beard with an idiot hanging off it.

I've seen stand up comedy, and after a while you start to notice that a lot of people are doing things that are like a lot of other people. There can be a bit of a herd mentality, and that's obviously less interesting because there's less going on. I'm just being totally frank with you.

Image
I don't go to different countries to criticise their political system and tell them what they should be doing - what do I know?
Dylan Moran

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.

Image
The terror of failure can make you feel like a failure. So a bunch of people think you're not very good at your thing. How much do you invest in what they say? How much do you care? Failure is not putting yourself on the line.
Dylan Moran
Image
I always try to address where I am. I'll talk to the people and try to find out what it is about that particular place that makes it distinct from everywhere else.

Religion is the yeast of death cakes. It is the most awful agent on a vulnerable mind. It's the refuge of alienated and lonely people. It's what people had before television. It yokes people together into an imaginary world. It is just people talking to their imaginary friends, at length. I wouldn't mind, but some of the people are world leaders.

Some people have told me that I'm grumpy it's not something that I'm aware of. It's not like I walk around poking children in the eye... not very small ones, anyway.

You can see desperation in people who are too eager to laugh because they're in such a hurry not to look at what's confronting them in their lives and that's kind of sad because there's a kind of pornographic aspect to it, of making some sort of pain go away, of hovering around a pain, making yourself numb, not feel anything.
Dylan Moran
Image
You cannot over estimate how infantile men are about sex! Men are people that have sex BECAUSE they have a headache... or are on fire, or have been shot in the head, or whatever it is!
Dylan Moran

You know it's a sad day when your child looks at you and asks 'Daddy, are these organic?'

Tequila? It's not even a drink. It's a way for having the cops around without using a phone.
Dylan Moran
Image
Children are very overprotected now, in lots of ways. We're very nervous about them. You know, people go, Don't go outside! Or inside! Get into the cupboard with some spinach! When I was a child they'd kick you out and you weren't expected to come back until there were bats!

In the same way, there is some creature gnawing away inside of me, urging me to do things in different ways.

It's true that I have spoken about doing a book before, but then everyone you speak to is planning to write a book.

Image
What are children anyway? Midget drunks. They greet you in the morning by kneeing you in the face and talking gibberish. They can't even walk straight.

All the shy people are doomed! Natural selection favors the loud and the aggressive

We are both drawn to surreal situations so the writing was a joy.

I'm just trying to understand what's around me as much as anyone else is, really. To draw a bead on a moving target.
