I wonder what I can do about war. Is it the destiny of human kind to eventually wipe ourselves out with these weapons of mass destruction? Are we stupid to think that we can control them?

Being a kid myself, I loved playing and I loved playing with words, and making up things and riddles and songs and not afraid of being silly in public.

To be Irish today is the abandonment of shame and the younger people are moving it out and they're moving the fear away. They're not afraid, they're adventurous.

I've seen so many horrible and awful results and consequences of people practicing alcoholism. It's murder, I've seen that. I've seen a lot of suicides, a lot of strange sins.

There's no recovery from alcoholism, it is an incurable disease. And it also is a disease that tells you, you don't have a disease.

I would like to do away with all kind of - all weapons. A dream - totally. Including the bow an arrow.

Democracy to me is letting the other person speak and being dissenting without being disagreeable.
