My father was totally Irish, and so I went to Ireland once. I found it to be very much like New York, for it was a beautiful country, and both the women and men were good-looking.

Once a song and dance man, always a song and dance man. Those few words tell as much about me professionally as there is to tell.

I`m sick of carrying guns and beating up women.
