I'm getting better, happier, and nicer as I grow older, so I would be terrific in a couple of hundred years time.

I think I was dealt a good hand. I have happy genes.

In Ireland every place you visit and every person you meet has a story. And they love to tell you their stories. Everyone is interested in everything; in a land of storytellers, you will never be bored.

Of course I wanted children. Bright, gorgeous, loving children. I could almost see them.

I have always believed that life is too short for rows and disagreements. Even if I think I'm right, I would prefer to apologize and remain friends rather than win and be an enemy.

Never mind money; the gifts of time and skill call into being the richest marketplace in the world.

I've been very lucky and I have a happy old age with good family and friends still around.
