Even when they have nothing, the Irish emit a kind of happiness, a joy.

A lot of Irish people perform. They perform in drawing rooms. They sing songs and they play piano.

I just think that things should be allowed to run their course, and not turned into a Disney ride.

I think America becomes more disgruntled by going to the movies and having an endlessly good time at them.

There was no professional theater in Cork, but still I did a lot of performing.

This whole tribal loyalty seems to have gone.

I would love to write the story of my upbringing in Ireland.
