I've been sober for 25. And every day I am very grateful that I don't drink.

That's one part of oppression is to make sure you are a shameful, shamed human being. That takes care of the past.

There were a few people who got jobs in Limerick, a big barrel on wheels, and it was a barrel that went back and forth, and a shovel and a broom. So, they went around shoveling the horseshit into this barrel. So, you got that job when you were around 15, and then you got to retire at the age of 65, with a pension. A small pension. So that would be 50 years of shoveling horseshit. And I was advised very seriously that I should get that job.

The Supreme Court gives corporations the same rights as a human being. It's absurd. You can't do that.

Alcoholism is a dread, an awful, and fatal disease.

I was not a good father in my first marriage. Although there are ways of deserting the family without leaving physically, I was deserted in my head. I was always out, always in the saloons, always drinking, always messing about.

That's my punishment in hell, shoveling horseshit.
