Dylan Moran's quotes

• I don't do drugs. If I want a rush I just get out of a chair when I'm not expecting it.
• It's its own bioculture, I just leave it alone... we sleep in separate rooms. (On his hair)
• Yeah, I think Michael has had to deal with that label of being Michael Caine for a long time.
• The trend now is to get away from stage bound sitcoms.
• We are both drawn to surreal situations so the writing was a joy.
• You achieve the surreal jokes through the realism by making it elastic.
• 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.
• I think that women just have a primeval instinct to make soup, which they will try to foist on anybody who looks like a likely candidate.
• I think a lot of the time you just parody yourself.
• I have a very low level of recognition, which is fine by me.
• The truth is that I'm constitutionally incapable of doing an ordinary job.
• I'm actually about as famous as a fourth division footballer from the 70s.
• Black Books adheres to a more old fashioned, traditional sitcom format, which I think works, because in its own way, it's quite theatrical.
• 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.
• I don't really think of myself as an actor.
• I don't want to do the same thing over and over again.
• 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.
• You try various things when you're growing up. I was an attache in the Foreign Service for a while and then I drove a bulldozer, but neither of those panned out for me so it had to be stand-up.
• I thought The Office was good, though I didn't think of it as a sitcom, just as a very good programme.
• If I hadn't done this I might have ended up digging the roads.
• One thing that's coming up a lot is: are you as grumpy as you appear from this Black Books thing.
• Showing off seemed to me to be a highly valuable and necessary activity when I was 20.
• The characters can't be wittier than people are in real life. They have to be character witty.
• Roman Catholicism seems to be a hysterical panic over the inevitability of Death. "Quick! Death is coming! Put on the big hat and the gold dress!"
• I mean, I wish I was like you, really, Protestant and short...
• You think about the French Revolution, look at contemporary Britain, and wonder how much exactly would it take to crack them? How many times can they tut and rattle their newspapers?
• They say women are sensitive. A man can look at a woman and think "If that woman doesn't love me, it's all over for me. Nothing will matter in my life any more." That is how women feel about shoes!
• We're the only organism that the planet is actively asking to fuck off by burning things and melting things on us, it's like going past the ocean and having it spit a Whale out at you.
• There must be a story behind all those people you see mumbling on the street.
• It's not easy being a man. I had to get dressed today, and there are other pressures.
• Cakes are the language of Love. I don't see any Cakes in the building...
• "Mobile phone tumors more likely in the City", well so is everything else! Including sex, coffee and conversations!
• Do you know what happens in the Country, because there's nothing to do there? People come round to your house and drink tea for hours.
• Are you going to be sane or not lonely?
• He's still picking up twigs in the Springtime. Oh, yes! One of Yul Brenner's hairdressers. Likes his toast done on three sides!
• I have to have a tremendous amount of sex with someone before I'll buy them a drink...
• This is one of my "Please don't kill me, I'm just off a train" smiles.
• [Zen koan] Two monks are walking over a bridge, the cherry blossoms are falling all around them, and one of them says "You know, I'm very thirsty" and the other one says "Yes, but I'm quite tall". Did I miss something?
• We're freaked out by the idea of people who can take their own company.
• It shouldn't be an act of disobedience to light up a cigarette, unless you're a Doctor working at an incubator.
• The English have a great sophistication, tolerance and sense of humor which they need to deal with their impotence and pointlessness.
• The Oceans are full of Octopi with fur who want their own record deals.
• The Welsh people have sort of been sidelined, because of what's going on between England and Scotland. Wales is the traumatized child in the car, being driven around by the bickering couple.
• A Man does not KNOW how he has come by the Pie he is holding in his hand...
• I was watching Jeremy Kyle! This horrible man, who looks like a drunk seagull. Battering pregnant voles with his beak...
• I mean, if your life's that empty save us the money! Just draw some faces on cocktail sausages, stuff them in some Christmas Decorations, and then rattle them around on a tray!
• It's a sign we live in extraordinary times that you've even heard of Nigel Farage.
• Speaking German sounds like Typewriters eating tinfoil, falling down the stairs. "What is happening to you from behind, and how can we make it stop?"
• But that could never happen to Jason Statham! Jason Statham could never Make Love to another man! Unless that man contained information...
