It's Hard For Me To Measure Them,

The Problem With Being Irish... Is Having 'riverdance' On Your Back. It's A Burden At Times.

I'm Not Recognised That Much. I'm Just A Bald Man In Glasses And There's A Rash Of Them In Dublin. It'd Be Different If I Had A Mohican.

My Parents Were Sixty Years Married.

When I Was Growing Up, The Exam System Didn't Allow You To Write Fiction, So You Never Did.

When I Was A Kid, If You Didn't Speak Irish, You Really Wanted To. And You Played Gaelic Games And You Didn't Pay Any Attention To What Was Happening In The Outside World, Because Really, The - Ireland Was The Center Of The Universe. And I Don't Think That's The Case Anymore, Although, Admittedly, It Is The Center Of The Universe.
