I Look Placid, You See, That's Why

I'm A Great Will Maker. I've Made My Will Every Year Since I Was 21.

My Mother Was A Trained Nurse, And She'd Tell Me That Patients Would Fight As They Were Administered Anaesthetic, Grappling To Get The Gas Mask Off Their Face.

I Had A Very Happy Childhood, Which Is Unsuitable If You're Going To Be An Irish Writer.

You're Much More Believable If You Talk In Your Own Voice.

I Have Been Luckier Than Anyone I Know Or Even Heard Of. I Had A Very Happy Childhood, A Good Education, I Enjoyed Working As A Teacher, Journalist And Author. I Have Loved A Wonderful Man For Over 33 Years, And I Believe He Loves Me, Too.
