"Everything went perfectly on 'In Bruges.' It was constant warfare, but I won all the battles and was..." — Martin McDonagh

There's no point in me meeting with a bunch of producers or studios, because I'll write my own scripts in my own time.

'Beauty Queen' will always be a favourite because I think it's a really tight play, and when it's done right, there is a sadness to it that I love.

I probably haven't had enough gay characters in my stuff. When you're writing something, you're thinking, 'Why couldn't this person be black, white, gay?'

When I started out, I was very vociferously against theatre or what I saw theatre as being, so I tried to make my plays the opposite of that - something a bit more cinematic. I'm a film kid, so I'll never have the same love of theatre as I do of movies. It's just the way I was brought up.
