Every prophet in her house ...

"Before the beginning, after the great war between heaven and hell, God created the earth and gave dominion over it to the crafty ape he called man … And to each generation was born a creature of light and a creature of darkness...and great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between good and evil. … There was magic then, nobility, and unimaginable cruelty. … So it was, until the day that a false sun exploded over Trinity and man forever traded away wonder for reason."

ONCE upon a time in Dublin

"My film is a sort of modern day musical. I like the classic musicals of the forties and fifties, and I wanted to attempt to make a contemporary story in which the lead characters sung more than they spoke. I was tired writing 90-page scripts and trying to express myself with dialogue, plot twists etc, and opted for a mood piece, which would be a kind of visual album; a film which you could watch over and over just to hear the songs again in the way I can watch "Guys and Dolls," or "A Star is Born" over and over, regardless of knowing exactly what's coming next." (John Carney)

Before becoming a full-time writer, Mr. Lehane worked as a counselor with mentally handicapped and abused children, waited tables, parked cars, drove limos, worked in bookstores, and loaded tractor-trailers. His one regret is that no one ever gave him a chance to tend bar. He lives in the Boston area.
