Writing Quotes by Martin McDonagh

Martin McDonagh

I love actors. Part of that is my theater background and being a writer who cares about performance. Actors have usually chosen their profession because they have a dream of doing it and they want to express something about the world. That’s the same thing that I have with writing. Most of the good actors get into it for those reason, rather than for reasons of fame or fortune, or anything like that, and that’s where I’m coming from, as a storyteller.

Though it may not seem like it, I never try to write about a place, per se; it’s always, first and last, about story. Story is everything. Story and a bit of attitude.

When I’m happiest writing is just not knowing where it goes and just let the characters bring you there.
