Dylan Moran Quotes:
America is this incredible mosaic of immigrants, so people really want to be anchored in some kind of culture as well as the one they are living in.
Dylan Moran
America’s work ethic is non-stop; it’s not even enshrined in law that workers have to get their two weeks holiday money. But Americans work harder than everyone else I can think of.
Dylan Moran
As an Irish person, there’s a historical fascination with America: America is the default green and promised land for Irish people and Italians; that’s what we grow up with.
Dylan Moran
Black Books adheres to a more old fashioned, traditional sitcom format, which I think works, because in its own way, it’s quite theatrical.

I do think it’s perfectly natural and human to want to invest belief in something. It’s just a facet of who we are. What do I believe in? I believe in the obvious things. The people I’m close to and my work – it’s not complicated.

I don’t really think of myself as an actor.
Dylan Moran
I don’t want to do panel games or adverts. I really like challenges. I always get roles as an art teacher or a photographer. In the future I want to play something like a mugger/assassin/pastry chef.
Dylan Moran
I don’t want to do the same thing over and over again.
Dylan Moran
I don’t watch a whole lot of stand up. Mainly I prefer to read writers; they make me laugh the most. Something gets you when you’re alone and someone’s voice is coming through their work. There’s a different quality to it that stays with you a bit more.
Dylan Moran
I fear we might be losing the basic human facility to be alone – and with that you throw out independent decision-making, what to trust, what not to trust; key stuff – a perilous loss.
Dylan Moran
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.

I have a very low level of recognition, which is fine by me.
Dylan Moran
I have no qualifications to do anything else and there weren’t any formal application forms you had to fill in for stand-up, so I thought I’d give that a twist.
Dylan Moran
I never really had a career, to be honest with you. I never in my life sat down and planned it. I have thought, ‘Oh, I’d like to do this,’ like anybody would. But I’m not the type that says, ‘If I do this, it will lead to that.’
Dylan Moran
I never thought I want to do anything, really, except not go to work properly and turn up at the same place every day and eat sandwiches in the same canteen, if I can possibly help it, as I don’t think I’d be very good at it.
Dylan Moran
I quite fancy the 1940s. I like the trams and the trousers.
Dylan Moran
I think a lot of the time you just parody yourself.
Dylan Moran
I thought The Office was good, though I didn’t think of it as a sitcom, just as a very good programme.
Dylan Moran
I was very into New Order, Joy Division, all of that when I was younger. I had a lot of bootlegs that I saved up my pocket money to buy. I had all the obscure early EPs.
Dylan Moran
I wouldn’t be in a huge hurry to go back to Kansas. It was just bizarre. There’s a lot of very, very heavy set people who believe in whatever they were told, because they didn’t seem to get out very much or be interested in leaving where they were. They just didn’t seem that curious, and I find that a little hard to deal with.
Dylan Moran
If I hadn’t done this I might have ended up digging the roads.
