I grew up in a house where there was lots of teasing and language play and laughter; it was very important. when i was a teenager, you wouldn't go to a bar and find lots of televisions everywhere. people were talking. talk was the mental fire you would gather around in the evening. it occupied a big part of your existence.

More From Dylan Moran

I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!

Gather the stars if you wish it so gather the songs and keep them. gather the faces of women. gather for keeping years and years. and then... loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye. let the stars and songs go. let the faces and years go. loosen your hands and say good-bye.
Letting Go Song Stars
You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk r-rated. i mean i've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. when a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they're not talking the way people talk on tv. unless it's cable.
Girl Mom Daughter
The cliché i tried to avoid was i hated "teenage sidekicks." i always figured if i were a superhero, there's no way on god's earth that i'm gonna pal around with some teenager. so my publisher insisted i have a teenager in the series, because they always felt teenagers won't read the books unless there's a teenager in the story; which is nonsense.

I used to rent a house in princeton, new jersey, and whenever people came to visit me, i would drive them past albert einstein's house, which is the most ordinary house in princeton - a house, let me assure you, that now a salesman wouldn't live in. i'd always say, "that was albert einstein's house." and they'd say, "what do you mean? why would albert einstein live in a little house like that?" and i'd always say to people, "because he didn't care!"
Mean Past People
In any case, fire burns; that's its nature, and you can't expect to change that. you can use it to cook your meat or to burn down your neighbor's house. and is the fire you use for cooking any different from the one you use for burning? and does that mean you should eat your supper raw?" maddy shook her head, still puzzled. "so what you're saying is . . . i shouldn't play with fire," she said at last. of course you should," said one-eye gently. "but don't be surprised if the fire plays back.
