“I still get called 'a stick of dynamite' or 'pint-sized dynamo,' stuff...” — Garry Hynes Quote

“I still get called 'a stick of dynamite' or 'pint-sized dynamo,' stuff like that. Actually, I was too busy to notice there was anything unusual about being a woman director until the early 1980s, when I looked around the professional theater and realized there weren't many of us. You have to make more of a case for yourself than any man.”

“I think women are in much the same place in the Irish theater as they are everywhere else. Certainly, we have wonderful Irish writers, and we have quite a number of Irish women directors. But there could be more, and there should be more.”

“I just like keeping busy and having ten things on the go.”

“The love in the old days had a certain grace, quintessential feel to it. Now everybody is busy in their phones.”

“I played guitar in a band from when I was about 20 for three years. Then I sang a little. Then I started getting really busy as an actor and forgot about it.”
