“The detachment of the artist is kind of creepy. It's kind of rude, and yet really it's where art comes from. It's not the same as courage. It's closer to bad manners than to courage. [...] if you're going to be a writer, you basically have to say, 'this is just who I am [â€¦]'. There's a certain indefensibility about it. It's not about loving your community and taking care of it â€” you're not attached to the chamber of commerce. It's a little unsafe. You have to be willing to have only four friends, not 11.”
“To be polite to everybody except the people they love most is a nervous affectation that afflicts many families ... when they come home, they take off their smiles and soft words, and sit about, spiritually in their underwear. This isn't pretty.”
“What you do with your billable time determines your current income, but what you do with your non-billable time determines your future.”

“Everyone was at Martin Freemanâ€™s house, and Martin was there and his wife was sat at his feet and Amanda [Abbington, Freemanâ€™s wife] was crying and so was I and I tried to laugh it off but that turned into this enormous sob in front of everyone and I just thought, oh brilliant. I just found it terribly moving. Martin is just amazing in that last bit, itâ€™s beautiful, that kind of incomprehension and devastation, itâ€™s fantastic, with his sort of military shuffle at the grave. Fantastic.”
