A Good Comedy’s Very Hard To Make,

You Never Know When The Publicity People Will Feel It Is A Good Time To Release The Film.

I Usually Read A Script From An Audience Perspective First, And Then Look More Closely At The Character Only.

I Kind Of Have An Interest In All History. And I Suspect It Comes From Being Irish - We Like Stories, We Like Telling Stories, Which Makes A Lot Of Us Lean Towards Being Writers Or Actors Or Directors.

There Are So Many Burning Issues To Be Dealt With That It's Completely Understandable And Natural That A Character Is Struggling With These Issues Themselves. In That Struggle, You Inform The Audience. The Thing About This Writing Is That It's Very Easy To Learn. Good Writing Always Is.

I Suppose I Look For Humor In Most Situations Because It Humanizes Things; It Makes A Character Much More Three-dimensional If There's Some Kind Of Humor. Not Necessarily Laugh-out-loud Type Of Stuff, Just A Sense That There Is A Humorous Edge To Things. I Do Like That.
