Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

I don't know what impression you might have of the way I live. I live in a quiet place. I do not live as a hermit, though other people would prefer it if I did.

I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.

Ireland was a place for the renewal of hope and I still see it like that.

I have no role models. Many heroes. I have an enormous capacity for hero worship.
